The OpenCL solo miner/daemon hasn't been updated in a while, and it won't compile with modern library versions (probably Boost being the main culprit). .
I successfully compiled the opencl daemon on ubuntu 14.04 with boost 1.60, works smooth no problem, the only problen is the daemon crashed itself after two or three days, maybe need more ram since I have only 4GB.
It eats 3 gigs of RAM with ease once sync'ed. The block chain itself is also 3 gigs. The daemon and simplewallet work fine on a headless Linux box with 4 gigs of RAM though. I also tried to compile the GUI wallet on Ubuntu 14.04 using Qt 5.2.1 supplied with it. When I run qt-boolb, I see a blank window. If right clicked, it displays "Reload" and "Inspect" with the former doing nothing and the latter directing to some HTML debugging dialogs. I guess this WebKit crap doesn't like me or Linux or both.
