PETSC_HAVE_SOCKET must be a flag from older version. Current sources
appear to not use it - they do use PETSC_USE_SOCKET_VIEWER. [configure
needs updating?]

On manually deleting PETSC_USE_SOCKET_VIEWER [with petsc-3] - I get
the following:

asterix:/home/balay/tmp/petsc-dist-test/asterix64/lib>nm -Ao *.a |grep PETSC_VIEWER_SOCKET
asterix:/home/balay/tmp/petsc-dist-test/asterix64/lib>

So perhaps the original build is some funky broken thing. Since
someone else did this build - its probably not worth diseting it.
Just grab the configure options used from it - and attempt a fresh
install yourself.
