I wanted to take advantage of the hardware acceleration when
encoding video. Would Mesa allow this?
Do you truly need proprietary drivers? That card is one of the best supported by open source software. So I would just install mesa, which should be easily installed from your distro's package manager, if it's not installed already.
Assuming you do need proprietary, maybe try a reboot if you haven't already? It's giving a missing binary error and sometimes I get those after a kernel update and not rebooting.

Today the Radeon RX580 graphics card I bought arrived. To get the drivers for the card, I went here
https://www.amd.com/en/support where I downloaded amdgpu-install_6.0.60002-1_all.deb
Next I started following the instructions at https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ then I started running into problems.
amdgpu-install --vulkan=amdvlk,pro gave me 2 errors:
E: Unable to locate package vulkan-amdgpu-pro and the same for vulkan-amdgpu-pro:i386
I kept going and entered amdgpu-install -y --usecase=workstation
That returned the errors Unable to locate package amdgpu-pro and amdgpu-pro-lib32
With the error messages I figured I'd have problems, but I tried to find out if I could use the hardware acceleration so I entered
:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v h264_amf -c:a copy output.mp4
That gave me several errors. The first one was [h264_amf @ 0x562e1f855380] DLL libamfrt64.so.1 failed to open
So I tried sudo updatedb and locate libamfrt64.so.1 which returned nothing. That told me the file wasn't there.
I tried to transcode a file with Handbrake but it didn't show h264_amf among the available codec options.
I tried searching for how to install libamfrt64.so.1 but all I got was references to steps I already tried.
Did I make a mistake somwhere or does AMD need to fix something?
Thank for your help.
Jim
