Can't run c/c++ codes in code::blocks 13.12 on linuxmint 17: Status 255

Solution
You have two options:
- Install `xterm`
or
- In CodeBlocks, go to `Settings->Environment`, go to `Terminal to launch console programs`, and select an appropriate terminal.
What's currently happening is that CodeBlocks is attempting to run your program with `xterm`, which isn't installed on your machine.
Problem
I am not able to run any C/C++ programs in code::blocks. Could anyone please suggest why this is happening? Currently I have the gnu c and g++ compilers installed on the system. The error message on building and running this simple c code: ``` #include<stdio.h> int main(){ printf("55"); return 0; } ``` is: Checking for existence: /home/user1/Desktop/progs/a Executing: xterm -T '/home/user1/Desktop/progs/a' -e /usr/bin/cb_console_runner "/home/user1/Desktop/progs/a" (in /home/user1/Desktop/progs) Process terminated with status 255 (0 minute(s), 6 second(s))
