[Gmsh] Question about GMSH

Hello Jacques,

 I'm wondering if you compiled gmsh with fltk support (in Ubuntu, you probably 
need libfltk1.3 and libfltk1.3-dev). When you run cmake, you see a list of 
packages that were found by the build system at the end of the configuration 
phase. Is fltk listed among them?

If you compile without fltk, gmsh runs only in command-line mode (which is 
what you see).

Best regards,

   Martin Vymazal
