I have started Code::Blocks successfully today.

The program hangs at startup because wxExecute() call is buggy in 
wxGTK-3.0.2. This is the version the C::B is build by default. 
wxExecute() waits forever the child process to return.

WORKAROUND:

Build Code::Blocks in pkgsrc linked to wxGTK-2.8 (aka. change package 
Makefile appropriately)
Then, you will get a fully functional IDE.
