Another option is to check where PETSc is installed on your system and
which version you are running. Did you install PETSc yourself on the
SGI machine?

Is the variable PETSC_DIR set when you run configure? Check with

    printenv PETSC_DIR

If so, DOLFIN configure checks for the script configarch in
$PETSC_DIR/bin/

If not, DOLFIN configure checks for the script configarch in
/usr/local/lib/petsc/bin/

If configarch is found, DOLFIN configure assumes that it has found
PETSc on your system, but apparently something goes wrong since
petscmat.h is missing.
