Jenna:
That depends on the desktop you use.
You should have an application menu somewhere, with a submenu called development (or something like that). There should be a Code::Blocks entry. Just click on it and it starts.
YOu can also try to start a console window from inside xorg and type codeblocks at the commandline.
malcolm:
I checked the applications menu and there nothing .
I tried typing codeblocks in the consol and bash command not found .
I installed it in ubuntu and worrying about word-wrap on the command line would that be a problem ?

Barking_Mad:
Varify you have it installed.
at the terminal shell command try typing:
$ aptitude search codeblocks
and see if it list codeblocks as installed (+i), or check within the package manager for ubuntu.
Its most likley not correctly installed or installed at all if "codeblocks" doesnt work directly from the terminal.
malcolm:
Would this indicate it is installed :
sudo apt-get install build-essential gdb libwxgtk2.6-0 libwxgtk2.6-dev wx2.6-headers wx2.6-doc wx-common
