That depends on the desktop you use.

You should have an application menu somewhere, with a submenu called development (or something like that). There should be a Code::Blocks entry. Just click on it and it starts.

YOu can also try to start a console window from inside xorg and type codeblocks at the commandline.

I checked the applications menu and there nothing .

I tried typing codeblocks in the consol and bash command not found .

I installed it in ubuntu and worrying about word-wrap on the command line would that be a problem ?

Varify you have it installed.

at the terminal shell command try typing:

$ aptitude search codeblocks

and see if it list codeblocks as installed (+i), or check within the package manager for ubuntu.

Its most likley not correctly installed or installed at all if "codeblocks" doesnt work directly from the terminal.

sudo apt-get install build-essential gdb libwxgtk2.6-0 libwxgtk2.6-dev wx2.6-headers wx2.6-doc wx-common

gdb is already the newest version.
libwxgtk2.6-0 is already the newest version.
libwxgtk2.6-dev is already the newest version.
wx2.6-headers is already the newest version.
wx2.6-headers set to manually installed.

No but that does show that many/all the depedencies are installed.

Also what version and from what source or repo are you installing from?

I think wx2.6 is a little bit outdated. I din't know if there are recent Ubuntu-versions of C::B built against this.

Where did you install C::B from and how did you do that ?
Which version of Ubuntu do you use ?
