Make shure you use the same libraries on both systems(glibc, ...). The
best way is to use the same distributions on both systems. Moving the
compiled source tree is problematic. Because when you call make install
on the other system, it will check if some include-files have another
timestamp and will compile most of the source new. I would do this:

On the compile machine:
./configure --prefix=/your/favorite/path
make 
make install

This will install all necessary files under /your/favorite/path. Now you
create a tar archive from this directory and untar it on the other
machine and all is fine!
