Looks like a problem finding the PETSc libraries and header files. Which
versions of DOLFIN, PETSc and make are you using? What do you see if you
do 

   make -s -C $PETSC_DIR getincludedirs


Try downloading the development version

http://www.fenics.org/pub/software/dolfin/snapshot/dolfin-snapshot.tar.gz

There have been some changes in how PETSc is detected.
