It's linking libgrass_I.so from GRASS 6.4, which isn't going to work.

Note that 7.0 doesn't have a library named libgrass_I; it has been
changed to libgrass_imagery.

My first guess is that your GDAL library was built with GRASS support,
and that it's using GRASS 6.4. You need a version of GDAL which
doesn't have GRASS support; if you need to access GRASS datasets via
GDAL, use the GDAL-GRASS plugin.
