Check to see if you have a symbolic link "nvidia"
in /usr/lib/nvidia which eventually points
to /usr/lib/nvidia/current/nvidia_drv.so

And if you're trying to install the nvidia graphics driver, modprobe
isn't the way to do it, at least, on Wheezy.  You need to create an
xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 and blacklist the default driver, most
likely nouveau, in /etc/modprobe.d, then reboot.  Google for the
specific instructions.
