Maybe you are missing some library that is included in the development
image and it is not included in the production.

You can install your application and X-Terminal (get it at
http://770.fs-security.com/xterm/) packages and then run your
application in typing /var/lib/install/usr/bin/<your_app> in xterm.
Then watch for any error messages.
