Thank Satish. It worked as you said. But when I rebuild petsc using
./configure --with-matlab
It prompts
===============================================================================
Configuring PETSc to compile on your system
===============================================================================
TESTING: configureLibrary from
config.packages.Matlab(config/BuildSystem/config/packages/Matlab.py:35)
*******************************************************************************
UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS (see configure.log for
details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could not find a functional Matlab
Run with --with-matlab-dir=Matlabrootdir if you know where it is
*******************************************************************************
Then, I did the following. But it shows that
"/Users/zhihui/Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/bin/matlab" nonexistent. However,
it does exist as
Scott-Grad-MBP:bin zhihui$ pwd
/Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/bin
Scott-Grad-MBP:bin zhihui$ ls
activate_matlab.sh lcdata_utf8.xml matlab-glselector.sh mexsh
deactivate_matlab.sh ldd matopts.sh
optsetup.sh
engopts.sh m3iregistry mex registry
lcdata.xml maci64 mexext util
lcdata.xsd matlab mexopts.sh
Do you know what it is going on here?
Scott-Grad-MBP:petsc-3.8.3 zhihui$ ./configure

I guess you need to read up on some basic unix and system admin.
You probably meant to use:
export TMPDIR=/tmp
However - you have:
export TMPDIR=tmp
To overcome this problem - you do:
export TMPDIR=/tmp
