Dear Dimitrios,
It seems that a problem a bit deeper. Formally, MathGL should use any
HDF5 library (which is installed). But if non-serial version of HDF5
is installed then, as I and Dmitry thinks, the MathGL should be built
by other compiler (i.e. like "mpicc" instead of "g++" for MPI
version). Unfortunately, we have not enough experience to write proper
build-script for all these cases. So, right now only serial version is
supported. However, we will be very appreciative if somebody write
this part correctly and I will include it into the MathGL quickly.
