Similar but not the same:

I got this "not found" error during runtime, when using intel-mpi and intel 
compilers. 
For me, adding "-static-intel" to the CFLAGS solved the issue.

Since you're failing during the linking step, you should check if libimf.so is 
in your linker path and if you wanna link dynamically also during runtime. 

I would suggest specifying the libimf.a path in LDFLAGS and then link intel 
libraries statically.
