The file specified by the installer probably does exist. You can open it with gedit for instance :

gedit /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log

Then it will tell you what to install. For me (Ubuntu 15, R9 200 series) it was:

apt-get install dh-modaliases.
apt-get install execstack.
apt-get install debhelper.

Then try again the install driver, with sudo

I believe that you need to ensure that you have the Linux headers available. Open a terminal and enter the command

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r`

You may also need the build esentials, although I don't think they are required for AMD

sudo apt-get install build-essential

I would also strongly recommend that you read this article about removing the AMD drivers before you try the installation.

The log file should be located at /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log

Perhaps your system does not have the following packages:

dh-modaliases and execstack

To install these, type the following commands at terminal (execute terminal by Ctrl + Alt + t)

sudo apt-get install dh-modaliases
sudo apt-get install execstack

OR 

sudo apt-get install dh-modaliases execstack
