Oh, you're using gdb 6.3 this is tremendously old. Update to a 7.xx somehow if possible. Or use command line gdb to see what is going wrong.
Probably some regexp is not match, but I have no way to debug this.

Can you run codeblocks with the -v option?

p.s. please use code or quote tags to surround long pastes.

The version of gdb is tied to Xcode (Apples development suite which comes with g++, gdb, etc.)  Poking around the internet people have difficulties updating individual components.  I could try to get a newer version of gdb but it would take a bit of work.

I can runcode blocks with -v.  What should I be looking for?  On startup, with -v, I get this the following error in a window:

--- Code: ---CodeBlocks Error:
Invalid regular expression: '(([a-zA-Z]:)?.*?):([0-9]*):([0-9]*):(middle|beg):(.*)': quantifier operand invalid

--- End code ---

Running gdb from the command line:

If you get regex errors, then the problem is that your wxwidgets doesn't support the wxRE_ADVANCED mode for the regex engine.

Ok, and what should I do about that?  The Codeblocks I'm using is simply the downloaded binary from the code blocks site.  Does that binary need to be built with a newer version of WxWidgets?  Should I try to build Codeblocks on my own?  Please advise.  Thanks for your help.

This wxRE_ADVANCED is set as an option building wxWidgets; so the answer depends on the source of the wxWidgets Library on your system.

You will likely need to rebuild Code::Blocks; but, till after wxWidgets is fixed for wxRE_ADVANCED issue there is no reason to build Code::Blocks.

Note: The above assumes that wxRE_ADVANCED is the cause of the issue.
