Compass on a Ringed, Earth-like Planet

Is it necessarily a given that a compass (as they magnetically function on Earth) could be made to function similarly on an alternate, Earth-like, ringed planet?

Another way of asking: is it feasible that the magnetic attributes of another planet could be different than Earth's (possibly making an instrument like a compass nonexistent in that world) and that planet still support flora and fauna similar to Earth?
