Just tested it. You will need to install libnvidia-compiler1 and create
a symlink manually:

  ln -s libnvidia-compiler.so.1 /usr/lib/libnvidia-compiler.so

Updated recommends and the missing symlink will be in 195.36.24-3.

After this change I could run most tests without problems remotely (via
ssh) on a GTX 285 - everything that requires OpenGL of course does not
work in this setup.

On my T61 notebook with a Quadro NVS 140M all tests (except for
DeviceQuery) fail with CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY. But I didn't see any
segfaults.
