Do you need to run in parallel? If not, I suggest first compiling without
MPI and without PETSc (which will make DOLFIN use uBLAS for linear
algebra). Then you can move on to using PETSc + MPI when you need it.

For MPI, I'd recommend using OpenMPI (http://www.open-mpi.org/). It
usually gives me less trouble to install than mpich.
