I also have had problems to install Codeblocks on Ubuntu (Karmic).

I have tried to use Jens packets without success.  So I switched to "http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu/".

Here are my the steps to fix all the problems:

Remove all 'old' packages:

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get remove build-essential gdb
sudo apt-get remove libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dev wx2.8-headers wx2.8-doc
sudo apt-get remove libwxgtk2.6-0 libwxgtk2.6-dev wx2.6-headers wx2.6-doc
sudo apt-get remove wx-common
sudo apt-get autoremove


Use synaptic, search for wx* lib's and remove them.

Code Select Expand


sudo synaptic


Insert the "lgp203.free.fr" - Repository into sources.list.

Start an editor:

Code Select Expand


sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list


Insert following lines, save and exit.

Code Select Expand


##CodeBlocks
deb http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu karmic universe
deb-src http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu karmic universe
deb http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu karmic unstable
deb-src http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu karmic unstable


Update list.

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get update


Import key for the repository.

Code Select Expand


wget -q http://lgp203.free.fr/public.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -


Again some cleanups.

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get autoremove


Install everything.

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install gdb

sudo apt-get install libcodeblocks0 codeblocks libwxsmithlib0 codeblocks-contrib
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dev wx2.8-headers wx-common


Now, Codeblocks should start.

Code Select Expand


codeblocks


After these steps, everything works fine....

But I have OpenSUSE so I can't use apt-get

start synaptic, select package and press Ctrl+E or select "Force version" from main menu.
You have to be connected to wxwidgets repository first to see their version in synaptic.
Select it and apply changes. Synaptic will show information, that packae will be downgraded.


Uh... suse.
Probably you don't have synaptic
See documentation how to force package version in suse.

Does synaptic exist for OpenSUSE ?
I don't think so.

openSuse 11.2 always runs without errors with C::B from this repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/ide/openSUSE_11.2/ .
All system software updated (C::B version is 5919).

Does this not work ?

Search for wxGTK and and probably wxGTK-devel, I don't know the exact names at the moment.
Maybe I find the time later (this evening ?) to start my virtual OpenSUSE machine, to look how the packages are called exactly, and which versions I have installed.
