Yes, I am trying to compile the program on the other machine.

No difference in the bash shell. All 3 machines have the same version.
The Makefiles are different - on the failing remote machine, the Makefile does not
include the -I's and -l's normally generated by the pkg-config commands.
The other remote machine works fine.

Yes, after installing the missing packages, detected manually, compilation
is perfect.

So: It is as if configure detects everything is in order,
but does not generate the correct Makefiles
