[Gmsh] Gmsh 2.8.3 shut down after 1sec.

[Mikhail Artemyev]

Hi Norbert,

Well, it seems the issue has nothing to do with Gmsh. There is something 
wrong with OpenGL installed on your computer, and Gmsh crashes trying to 
open its GUI (which is based on OpenGL and FLTK). You can check that 
Gmsh works typing:

gmsh --info


Best regards,
Mikhail
