Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver

I had the beta drivers running previously and after a standard update it stopped working. What I've tried so far:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

Then downloaded drivers from Amd website and unzipped it and ran:

sudo ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/trusty
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb

After this the Ubuntu BinaryDriverHowTo/AMD guide wants to make this:

aticonfig --initial

and it returns:

Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

The adapter is 280x and as said, it worked previously with the same drivers and with the same installation procedure.

Any ideas?

Use this commands as root:

/usr/lib/fglrx/switchlibGL amd # or /usr/lib/fglrx/switchlibglx amd
reboot

And after rebooting, try to execute

aticonfig --initial

I managed to get it working by creating a few of the missing symbolic links:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig /usr/bin/aticonfig
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/etc/ati/ /etc/ati

I was then able to run aticonfig as normal
