Q,

	Ok I don't understand why this is failing for you. I did install Ubuntu 
Hoary just for testing (meaning quickly without any prior knowledge) but 
i did not remeber having this problem.

	Are you sure you followed:

2.3. Required packages from:
http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian/fglrx-installer.html#requirements

Anyway the correct way to find out the package is to go to this page:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/ (as you would for debian)

Then scroll down and enter the information you got from the compile error:

> > FGLRXExtensions.c:19:37: X11/extensions/xf86misc.h: No such file or
> > FGLRXExtensions.c:20:39: X11/extensions/xf86mscstr.h: No such file or

So enter for example in "Search the contents of packages":

xf86mscstr.h

do not forget to change "Distribution" to Hoary

if you follow the link you should end up here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=xf86mscstr.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=hoary&arch=i386

Which says:

FILE                                                       PACKAGE

usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/xf86mscstr.h		    libdevel/libxxf86misc-dev
