libifcore.so.5: undefined symbol: _intel_fast_memmove

Hello,

I routinely use f2py to compile fortran code into python modules. Recently, I have run across a baffling problem. I compiled a module using the following command line:

f2py --compiler=intelem --fcompiler=intelem -c interpol_grid.pyf interpol_grid.F90

which produced the file interpo.so, as it was supposed to. However, when I tried loading it from within ipython, I got

$ ipython
Python 2.7.9 (default, Mar  9 2015, 11:04:54)

In [1]: import interpol

ImportError: /opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.0.090/compiler/lib/intel64/libifcore.so.5: undefined symbol: _intel_fast_memmove

I checked that interpol.so does indeed link to libifcore.so,

$ ldd interpol.so

and the libifcore.so.5 in question links to libintlc.so.5,

$ ldd /opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.0.090/compiler/lib/intel64/libifcore.so.5
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00002b4bcffa5000)

        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b4bd0e95000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b4bcff85000)

which contains the symbol _intel_fast_memmove,

$ nm /opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.0.090/compiler/lib/intel64/libintlc.so.5  | grep intel_fast_memmove
000000000000e160 T _intel_fast_memmove
000000000000e130 T _intel_fast_memmove.A
000000000000e140 T _intel_fast_memmove.M
000000000000e150 T _intel_fast_memmove.P

So then why does ipython's import fail with the message that libifcore.so.5 can't find _intel_fast_memmove?

Any help is appreciated,
