The main difference for different Linux distros are the package
manager, i.e. the way to install pre-compiled binaries.
If you are compiling software packages from source, then most Linux
distributions are the same, because you are not using the
package-manager.
If you're talking about the dependencies, then AFAIK debian/ubuntu
series have "apt-get build-dep" which comes handy. So chances are that
you got problems in ubuntu, you got more problems in other distro.
