this versions is very old. We suggest using latest petsc release
[currently 3.4] - and upgrading your code to work with it.

Can you verify if a PETSc exmaple [from this version of PETSc] compile
and run fine with this install of PETSc?

The line of code here is:

PETSC_STATIC_INLINE PetscTruth PetscExceptionCaught(PetscErrorCode xierr,PetscErrorCode zierr)

So perhaps the compiler is not able to resolve the macro
'PETSC_STATIC_INLINE'. Are you using PETSc makefiles for your
application? If not - compare your compile command with the one you
get when you build a PETSc example using PETSc makefile [say
src/ksp/ksp/examples/tuotirals/ex2.c]
