openimageio and opencolorio will each try to link against the other if 
present. It's an unfortunate "natural" recursive dependency which I try 
to minimise in the .info files by setting opencolorio as a dependency of 
openimageio but _not_ setting openimageio as a dependency of 
opencolorio. This attempted minimisation fails in the case where 
openimageio is already installed when building opencolorio, which is 
exactly your situation.

If a clean VM for building is not available, I would recommend that you 
temporarily remove openimageio, then build opencolorio, then reinstall 
(or even better: rebuild & install) openimageio.
