*ngIf works OK in some parts, but not in others. Angular 2.0.x - angular2-directives

Question

I am trying to use *ngIf in a simple component and angular is throwing an error on *ngIf.
Removing the "*ngIf="loggedIn" and it runs. {{loggedIn}} shows true after logging in and false before.
The main app uses the same div to enable menus, which works fine.
I must be doing some simple wrong but it escapes me.
thanks
First the error:
Can't bind to 'ngIf' since it isn't a known property of 'div'. ("<div [ERROR ->]*ngIf="loggedIn">
<div class='panel panel-primary'>
<div class='panel-heading' >
"): ShowConfigComponent#0:5

I found the solution! I think Nicu also guessed what it was.
I didn't import BrowserModule into my ShowConfig.module.ts ie: my #ngmodule.
import { NgModule } from '#angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '#angular/forms';
import { ShowConfigComponent } from './ShowConfig.component';
import { AuthService } from '../../shared/AuthService';
import { BrowserModule } from '#angular/platform-browser';**
#NgModule({
imports: [
// The following line was missing
BrowserModule,
FormsModule
],
declarations: [
ShowConfigComponent
],
providers: [
]
})
export class ShowConfigModule { }
