I found this tutorial.... Going to give it a try. For AMD GPU's only.

Same here.... 3 PC's with 14 Nvidia video cards.... Running like a server on mint Linux. Wanted to try an AMD video card. What a huge mistake. Multiple days not hours spent trying to get opencl and other drivers loaded. My advice to anybody who wants to do folding at home is the stay away from AMD.

Thanks... I'll go look....
Still wrong that AMD and fah are wasting everyone's time and effort... Just wrong. I've also told AMD(Little good it did - survey and email ) that I will probably never buy a video card from them again due to this.
Again thank you for your help.

You know AMD should be ashamed. Publicly saying they support this effort and we have to guess and jump through hoops to make their poorly written software work.

Tried the ocl-icd-opencl-dev..... Still getting a - 1

The AMD driver install script (amdgpu-pro-install) has an option to include opencl. I ran the script with no errors. I'll try the
sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev. and see what happens. Thx

Unbuntu 18.04 and AMD driver script amdgpu-pro-20.10-1048554 After many many many(AMD needs to come up with a better script) I got brand new loads of the os and the drivers to load. Stock installs with no configurations. FHcontrol shows - OpenCL on the status page is showing -1 I've added gpu = true...
