I installed ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run on my E-350 notebook (with Fedora 15), and then downloaded and opened the AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-lnx64.tgz SDK tarball. AMD_APP_SDK_Installation_Notes.pdf mentions that I just need to run the Install-APP.sh file to put the files in the proper places. Unfortunately, the Install-APP.sh is absent from the SDK distribution. So I'm kind of stuck. Any ideas where that file went?

Oh, dang. I missed it. It was in the first of the nested tarballs.

For future reference, AMD, community standards suggest that a tarball expand into a new directory, and not dump files into cwd. It's been that way for a few decades now.

To be more specific,

% tar -xzf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-lnx64.tgz

Should expand into a new directory called AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-lnx64 such that

% cd AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-lnx64

% ./Install-AMD-APP.sh

installs the software.

Hi Mstock,

Is the Install-AMD-APP.sh file available in the package?

Are you able to install the package?

[mstock]

Yep, I was able to install the package. I was just confused when untarring the distribution littered files throughout my home directory. That should really be fixed.
