Make sure that you're building matching versions of PETSc and SLEPc. Dorsal may not be up to date. It's maintenance is rather weak currently and development of new hashdist based installation is now in the focus of developers. https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/fenics-install
If you don't need an eigensolver, you can disable SLEPc by commenting out slepc in your platform file as a workaround.
