wx-config --prefix returns:

/opt/wx/2.8

(This is the directory where I have the wx sources).

I suggest to use the packages provided by ubuntu and try it again.

I use self-compiled wxWidgets because I read in a tutorial
(http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Creating_a_simple_%22Hello_World%22_plugin)
that you have to compile your own wxWidgets from source in order to make a plugin.  Do you think this is not true?

Jenna:
Yes it's not true (except on windows).
The top of the wiki-article tells you, that it is outfdated and needs to be updated.

On linux it is enough to install the development packages of wxWidgets and if you have C::B packages that work on your distro, you should be abale to use the development packages of C::B and wxSmith to create a plugin.
Ubuntu 10.10 includes C::B 10.05 as far as I know, and if they use the actual package layout, there should be dev-packages also.

codeblocks-dev and wxsmith-dev (and their dependencies) for C::B and libwxgtk2.8-dev (and it's dependencies) should be enough.

You can use pkg-config for codeblocks and wxsmith (if the dev packages are installed).

Thank you for your explanation.
I removed my self-compiled CodeBlocks and wxSmith and reinstalled them from the Ubuntu repositories, as you suggested.
I can now compile and install a minimal (empty) CodeBlocks plugin, following the instructions of the outdated webpage I quoted.
When I try, however, to make a new widget for wxsmith, following this tutorial,

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Creating_a_plugin_which_adds_new_item_into_wxSmith

it compiles, but when I try to install it gives the error message:

One or more plugins were not loaded.  This usually happens when a plugin is built for a different version of the Code::Blocks SDK.  Check the application log for more info.

Any ideas what is going wrong now?  Or where I can find the application log?

Thank you very much for your help,

Christian

Make sure that the name of the created library (without the ending) is the same as the name of the zip-file (without the ending) and the registered name.
And be aware that it is case sensitive !
