I've noticed lately that I can't just compile and install custom blocks and
have them show up in grc. I've had to add a GRC_BLOCKS_PATH environment
variable that points to the location of my custom blocks folder to make
them discoverable.

Isn't the sudo make install process supposed to copy the required files to
known places that gnuradio can find them so I don't have to worry about
this? For example, I do see the custom blocks .xmls in the
/usr/local/share/gnurado/grc/blocks directory after installing.

To make sure I'm not being silly and forgetting something, here is my
process:

1) Create a new block in a random directory with gr_modtool and get ready
to compile and install

2) Create a build directory and do the following from within build:

cmake ..
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

3) Re-open grc and see your new blocks in the library

Is this a bug or am I overlooking something? Could it be related to using
the new pybombs?
