I installed dynamic libraries, but it seems there's a problem when Gmsh is 
compiled with MPI. Running any example gives me an MPI error:

...
*** An error occurred in MPI_Init_thread
*** on a NULL communicator
*** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (processes in this communicator will now abort,
***    and potentially your MPI job)
[think:21768] Local abort before MPI_INIT completed completed successfully, 
but am not able to aggregate error messages, and not able to guarantee that 
all other processes were killed!

However when i add before gmsh.initialize() these two lines:

import ctypes
ctypes.CDLL("libmpi.so", mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL)

then examples run without problems.
