Run
$ dpkg -l
on both boxes, and compare the output.  (Don't forget, you can always do 
something like
$ ssh 10.11.12.13 'dpkg -l' > other_box_packages
to run a command on another machine and trap its output in a file on yours.  
Just substitute the appropriate IP address or hostname.)

Chances are, there's a -dev package you've missed out.

(Why distributions still persist in separating out -dev packages in these days 
of fast CPUs, broadband internet connections and terabyte hard disks is 
beyond me, but that's for another day .....)
