There was no default.conf in the /config/codeblocks directlry, so I created one and set the DOXYBLOCKS value to 0.  This at least gave me a new error message.  The new complaint was that some root directory was missing (I'll have to dig around a bit).  But I'm hopeful that I'll be able to create a reasonable default.conf file that will let my poor codeblocks finally run.

Thanks for your help.

You need to find the correct file and edit it!
Note: Sometimes Linux hides files that start with an period ".".
I would try looking in your home folder.

Yes, I found the directory ~/.config/codeblocks.  I suppose in a perfect world this directory would contain default.conf, but in my case it did not.  Evidently whatever crashed codeblocks happened before codeblocks was able to create its default.conf file.

I will try to track down what should be in this file, and put it in by hand.  Eventually I have hopes that I might get codeblocks working properly.

I appreciate your comments.  Thank you.

Update:  I found an example of a default.conf file for codeblocks.  I was able to tweak that.  That allowed codeblocks to run, and I was able to configure codeblocks using the program itself.

I greatly appreciate the help you have give me.  Thank you.
