Bug Description
[Problem]
The /usr/lib/dri directory was not present, so fglrx failed to install. Simply running "sudo mkdir /usr/lib/dri" fixed this problem for me. Installing gstreamer apparently also causes the directory to be created so installing gstreamer first will allow avoiding the problem.
[Original Report]
Tried to install fglrx earlier, but this did not succeed. Rebooted and installed mesa-utils, but this did not succeed either. Got this log in the terminal:
The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
