Remove petsc and trilinos from the list of packages to be built by Dorsal in your platform file and set PETSC_DIR and TRILINOS_DIR to point to where they are installed (also in the platform file).

Johannes gave you the right answer for PETSc and Trilinos. In general, you

1. Open the platform file your OS.
2. Comment out the packages you already have installed.
3. For each package (foo) you comment out, look at the package file (dorsal/FEniCS/packages/foo.package) and see whether the package sets any relevant environment variables in package_specific_register().
4. If it does, you make sure you set those variables manually (to point to your own pre-installed libraries).
