I am running the exact same thing, and I don't see your problem.
[2011-08-09 23:57:10] Error: Getting program info CL_PROGRAM_BINARY_SIZES. (clGetPlatformInfo)

When trying to get it to compile I had to first APT-GET a few packages including pkg-config, libcurl4-gnutls-dev, curl, libncurses5-dev and autoconf.
In my opinion, you're barking up the wrong tree: this looks like
cgminer does not manage to detect your GPU. Have you verified
that your GPU is visible/available/working using other utilities ?
(aticonfig comes to mind).
Another possibility: did you do the following :
cd /; tar zxpvf /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/icd-registration.tgz
Without the above, things are very likely to behave according to
what you describe.
Thanks for the suggestions, but unfortunately none of them work.
cgminer can detect the GPUs in SOME capacity because when I do a "cgminer --ndevs" it lists 8, which is the number of GPU devices I have installed in the system.
The GPUs are being used successfully by phoenix miner. I want to switch over to cgminer.
Of all of my rigs, this is the only one that is reporting this problem. The other rigs have identical motherboards/GPUs and are running the same version of linuxcoin. I've successfully switched them over to cgminer, but I can't get this one rig to work.
Furthermore, the AMD icd-registration.tgz has been extracted using the commands you recommended.
I just did it again to see if it'd change the results, but I am still getting the same errors about the clPlatformInfo call.
Any other ideas?
If worse comes to worst, I may just clone the disk from one of the other rigs... but that's a huge pain!
Thanks in advance for any further help any of you can provide...
