Since you are running Fedora you might want to check out the 
'dependencies' script from the wiki (Howto -> Dependencies -> Fedora 
10). This is intended for compiling trunk but obviously will work on .21 
  as well. I intended it to grab all of the necessary and useful 
packages so that mythtv and some of the plugins will work as well as 
some of the contributed and extremely useful management scripts. It 
grabs all the '-devel' files needed, one of which is likely your 
culprit. Unless you chose *exactly* the same packages on each install, 
you cannot be sure that one box pulled some package which the other 
never saw. When we do a desktop install we'll pull all sorts of extra 
stuff which never gets put on a dedicated mythbox.
