Having taken another look at earlier messages, particularly your request 
to run

make -s -C $PETSC_DIR getincludedirs PETSC_DIR=$PETSC_DIR

I conclude that indeed you are expecting to find a makefile (presumably 
the top-level PETSc makefile) at the top level of $PETSC_DIR and executing 
the target 'getincludedirs' from that makefile. (Correct me if I am 
wrong.)

This will not work, since the makefile is part of the sources, and is not 
installed in the library.

Recall that on 1st July (Message-ID: <20050701194739.GC1172@galerkin>), we

You mean if DOLFIN needs the PETSc sources? No, it shouldn't. But
you will need the sources for PETSc to compile PETSc.
