Code::blocks not opening in Linux Mint

[tjh001]

Hi all,

I'm very new to linux and am using Linux Mint. I installed C::B a  weeksago and everything worked perfectly. Until today when I try to open C::B and the icon appears in the top left corner with a loading symbol and then it disappears and C::B doesn't launch. I've tried rebooting it to no avail.

Any help would be great.

Start it from terminal. And search for the error it will print.
If it is not related to missing simbols/shared libraries use gdb to see where exactly is the crash.

The application encountered an error at configmanager.cpp, on line 239.
The error message is:

Remove this empty config file. I am not sure how you got to this, but this will solve your problem. The file will be re-created.
