It looks like you don't have permission to write to the directory

/usr/local/lib/DIR/petsc-2.3.3-p0/python/BuildSystem/


You should send this message with the configure.log file to 
petsc-maint@xxxxxxxxxxx.  They are usually pretty good about getting 
back to people and know a lot more about setting up their software.

Thanks,
Andy
