A little more information might help to solve the problem.

Which OS and which version of C::B do you use ?

You have to install the codeblocks-contrib and libwxsmith package.

How did you install C::B ?
From a deb-file with "dpkg -i ..." ?

I installed it from the source code. Using standard procedure:
./configure, make, make install

Thanks,

To get only wxsmith, use
Code
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=wxsmith
If you want to install all contrib-plugins (recommended), use
Code
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all
The make and make install of course.

I usually install codeblocks from jens repository in my Ubuntu 8.04.1, but sometimes I had to install it from source and I need one more command after the the three suggested by jens.

Code
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all
make
make install
ldconfig

Without "ldconfig" contrib plugins were compiled and copied to their destination folders with "make install" but I couldn't get it inside codeblocks. Try it if the three don't work ok.

Thanks Jen.
My problem is solved I un-installed my code::blocks and then installed it using apt-get. The new installation has wxsmith :)

installed CodeBlocks on Windows 7 by downloading and executing: codeblocks-13,12-mingw-setup.exe .
first thing I tried was to created a new wxWidgets project.  worked my way though naming it etc. and finally was asked where the wxsmith files were - can't find them.  what am i missing?

Please do not hijack a 6 years old thread !!
I guess you mix up wxSmith and wxWidgets.
