Can you go to the directory and execute it manually?

  cd
/Users/justin/Software/petsc/arch-darwin-c-opt-firedrake/externalpackages/hdf5-1.8.12
&& /usr/bin/make -j 4

Maybe there is a problem using multiple make threads on this machine...

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
