Mitchell,

	Ok I reread the instructions on:

http://www.watchland.org/dmcgraw/ati-debian.html

	I think you should use alien to convert to tgz, extract at top level 
'/', then go to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod ...

HTH,
Mathieu
Ps: avoid aving multiple libGL in different directory, it just doesn't 
make sense. Also if you used libGL.a at some point I'd suggest you 
remove all your binaries, 'make clean' if you are paranoid.
