const451:
I have Ubuntu 10.04 (newbie) 64 bit,  I downloaded codeblocks-10.05-1-debian-amd64.tar.bz2, I used installation instructions in wiki to install it ( no errors), but when I start it I see a splash screen for a second and then it shuts down.

Can you help, please!

oBFusCATed:
Run it from terminal:

./codeblocks --debug-log

Run ldd codeblocks also in terminal.

Another thing your can try is to use the version for ubuntu 10.04, but I don't know where to get it from, search the forum.

to devs: Please, can someone edit the download page to include the link to the build for ubuntu 10.04, it will save (hopefully) a lot of pain for the ubuntu users

const451:
>> ./codeblocks --debug-log

I have to run this command from the folder where codeblocks is installed? I cannot find that. I did the search and I found only two files named codeblocks: codeblocks.desktop and codeblocks.png.

Looks like it did not get to install after all? But I did not get any errors.

Any ideas please.

I reinstalled it but it did not help.

There are two packages listed on the website:
   codeblocks-10.05-1-debian-amd64.tar.gz
   codeblocks-10.05-1-debian-dbg-amd64.tar.gz

What is the difference? I noticed there have different size.

That distribution is not compatible with the wxWidgets libs that are distributed with Ubuntu.

You have two choices:
a) Use pasgui's repo with Ubuntu's wxWidgets;
b) Use the wxWidgets libs from the official repo - apt.wxwidgets.org
Both options are described in detail in a post that Jen made a while ago.

The dbg package includes the debug version of code::blocks, you probably don't need it.
