CodeBlocks 25.03 does not start when the wxSmith plugin is available in /usr/share/codeblocks.

Workaround:
Renaming or removing the 3 zipfiles of wxSmith fixes this problem.

An other work around with using wxSmith was reported here:
https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,26131.msg177806.html#msg177806
Like this:

My current workaround is to install gdk-pixbuf2 version 2.42.12-2, instead of the latest version, 2.44.2-1. The latest version introduced glycin as a dependency

On the Arch Linux platforms the bug is also reported here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2264487#p2264487

bug tested on Arch Linux (CodeBlocks version 25.03-2 with gdk-pixbuf2 version 2.44.3-1)
