Unless you added /opt/intel/... to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig,
or you explicitly told configure or the Makefile or such to look for
libraries in that location, then you don't have it installed.  The build
can't guess where to look for libraries.

apt-file only knows about debian packages.  updatedb only affects
locate, which also has nothing to do with apt or any build system.
