problem with "new from template", nothing is available

[johnnymopo]

hello, sorry if this is simple.  I just installed code::blocks on ubuntu 9.10, and I tried to create a new project.  a "new from template" window appears with a list to the left, but as I select project or any of the others....nothing is availble, the center window is blank.  Any help, thankyou

end of output from make:

prefix.cpp: In function ‘char* br_extract_dir(const char*)’:
prefix.cpp:396: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’
prefix.cpp: In function ‘char* br_extract_prefix(const char*)’:

What's your problem ?

Did you try to compile C::B yourself, because the templates are not available in your installation ?
Or why did you put the make-fragment here ?
And if you did this, which version of the soucres do you use ?

And please search the forum (and/or the web), because the second issue is known with older sources.

I'm really new to linux... I thought I would add that fragment as it was the only discernable thing I could fine.

My problem is that when i go to make a new project, there is no options available under project, or any other.  I would assume that at the very least I could select a console application, but nothing is there.  thanks

Don't use the source of the 8.02-release or you have to patch it, otherwise you get the error you added above.
You can use svn or (e.g.) a tar-ball from my server.

The easiest way would be to use the packages provided by ubuntu (since 9.10).

And please say clearly what you did before you got the problem.

I still don't know, whether you try to use a self-compiled C::B or a binary package and when exactly the error occurs.

  thanks, got it all sorted out.  I had no experience with the wxWidgets and I didn't have the right one I believe, installed when I tried to install the binaries.  So I then attempted to build it myself, with the results above.  I then looked around a little more and must have got the right widget thing, and I was able to get the tar balled version to work and it works fine.  Thanks for the quick replies, I am looking forward to using CODE::BLOCKS!
i used:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gdb libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dev wx2.8-headers wx2.8-doc wx-common

Well I have the same basic issue... Fedora12 x64, have used "yum install wxGTK*" to install wxWidgets (2.8.10-7.fc12)

Used the documented: svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk

to get the Code::Blocks code

and as root from the trunk folder:

./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all --enable-static  --enable-source-formatter --enable-autosave  --enable-class-wizard  --enable-code-completion  --enable-compiler --enable-debugger --enable-mime-handler  --enable-open-files-list --enable-projects-importer  --enable-scripted-wizard  --enable-todo --enable-pch

(used those choices based on another forum post related to this same issue which implied the key is the --enable-scripted-wizard)

Then: make
Then: make install

but the templates still fail to appear:
