Chances are it isn't finding libcodeblocks.so.0.0.1 this is a bug in the makefile install you need to manually copy it from src/sdk/.libs/ to /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib

sudo cp src/sdk/.libs/libcodeblocks.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcodeblocks.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/libcodeblocks.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcodeblocks.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/libcodeblocks.so
sudo ldconfig

And you should have code blocks up and running.

Run the command from a terminal and see if it produces any diagnostics. You can find the command that is run by editing the menu (right click on applications) and you will find the terminal under Applications -> Accessories.

If no diagnostic output is produced, check the documentation to see if there are command line switches to like --debug or --verbose that will cause it to emit more diagnostics.
