non working CUDA x86_64 with Home Edition x86

My laptop is running Mandriva 2010.1 x86_64 Linux.
It has an nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, which supports CUDA.
CUDA 3.2.16 is installed with the latest display driver 260.19.21
Compiled examples from CUDA SDK are working fine.

I have Mathematica Home Edition 8.0.0 which is 32 bit.

I can install the 32 bit CUDAResources-Lin-8.0.0.6.paclet from
http://www.wolfram.com/CUDA/CUDAResources.html
with
Needs["CUDALink`"]
CUDAResorucesInstall["<path_to_paclet>"]

But trying to install the 64 bit variant
CUDAResources-Lin64-8.0.0.6.paclet
does not work.

Needs["CUDALink`"]
CUDAInformation[]
gives
CUDAInformation::invdriv: CUDA was not able to find a valid CUDA
driver. Refer to CUDALink System Requirements for system requirements.

Is there a way to couple 32 bit Mathematica to 64 bit CUDA?

(It is not possible to install 32 bit CUDA in Mandriva.)
