You are mixing up the XXX library that is used by the application when it
runs and the XXX-dev library that is required to build the application. They
are two different things.

The first is almost always installed on all systems, the second is only
needed on systems where you *build* apps and is therefore NOT normally
installed.

This is a dead giveaway that the -dev libs are missing
