Problems with X and OpenGL apps

I've been trying to do some opengl development on my
laptop (currently running macosx), and run the
resulting executables off of my desktop system.

Anyways, I can ssh into a machine at university,
compile the code there, and then I can run the
programs without any errors.

I'd prefer to be running said software on my desktop
at home, as executing things on a machine at
university tends to be a little laggy at time to time.  

I'm able to ssh into my home system and run xclock,
mozilla, (etc) and I can also compile the software
there and run it locally.  However, when I attempt
to run anything involving opengl I get a
segmentation fault.  

(GDB gives the following info:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4004e554 in __nvsym17122 () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1)

I have an NVidia card in my machine and I'm using
NVidia's drivers.  Am I unable to use these drivers
and still have opengl apps working remotely?
