The fglrx installation always says:

 "requires that the system have kernel headers.  /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system"

Could anyone help me fix it ?

  • sounds like kali doesn't provide a compatible kernel in the repos you are using, check other available kali repos perhaps backport or testing repos. If all else fails, compile a custom kernel.

You should install the latest linux image and headers, run apt-get search linux-image then install it:

apt-get install linux-image-4.8.0-kali1-amd64
apt-get install linux-headers-4.8.0-kali1-amd64

Restart your system and boot the 4.8 kernel version , then install fglrx
