Is this what you meant?  Should it be set to something else?

No, unless you are using a different debugger!

Did you install gdb?

If not, or you don't know install gdb.exe

AyJay:
As far as I recall, I installed codeblocks onto this machine in the same way as on my own. No, I did not install gdb.exe.  Is this something seperate? Where do I get it please?
What is curious is that the downdoad onto my machine worked fine, but not on this one, so something has to be different?

AyJay:
Yes it is there, just did a search for it and it's at  C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin

AyJay:
I've done it!  the default directory specified was c:\minGW and of course it was not there, so I changed the directory path and it worked. Pity Codeblocks had not made this clearer.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

It's stated very clear on the Toolchain executables tab (in red).
Please do not blame C::B if you do not read carefully.
An another thing: C::B can not guess all probably installation directories of MinGW, so a default value is guessed until you change it.
