I'm not a security expert but if you are using a block cipher (like AES, Blowfish, DES, etc) then you'll also need to make sure that both libraries are using the same type of padding.
SSL is probably a better solution unless you are transferring large amounts of data.

As long as these libraries correctly implement given crypt algorithm or cipher, then it shall be no difference what platform you use and what one encrypts shall be decryptable on another (assuming it's is two way algorithm). But maybe instead of crypting the data, crypting transport by using SSL would suffice for you? Regards, -- "Daddy, what "Formatting drive C:" means?"...
