That error message looks like it might be from Open MPI:

https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/3380

Meaning, if you intended to compile with intelmpi, it looks like you may 
have something compiled incorrectly with Open MPI instead of with 
intelmpi.  Did you use the right blacs library in the parallel compiler 
settings in siteconfig for intelmpi?  Did you compile FFTW3 with intelmpi?
