Procedure not working.

I'm running Fedora 17 (3.4.3-1.fc17.i686 #1 SMP) with an ATI Radeon HD 3800 card. I did as instructed and this happened:

# ./fglrx/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
./fglrx/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh: line 390: [: =: unary operator expected
doing Makefile based build for kernel 2.6.x and higher
./fglrx/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh: line 462: cd: 2.6.x: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
build failed with return value 2

so I changed directory and tried again and this happened:

# cd ./fglrx/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
# sudo ./make.sh
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
./make.sh: line 390: [: =: unary operator expected
