Howdy,

Note that it takes mutiple (at least two but it could be more) typesetting passes for \pageref to show a result. How are you typesetting on the two systems? E.g., using latexmk will automate the reprocessing but just using (pdf/lua/xe)latex once will b not give a result.

Also compare the .log files from each system. For the same input file they should be the same so differences there may give you a clue.

Finally, place the line

\listfiles

before the \documentclass command to get a list of all files and packages and version numbers being loaded so you can compare the differences in typesetting.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck,
