Hi, I added the ~/.gnuradio/config.conf file (previously not existing), with following lines [grc] local_blocks_path=/home/vrege/rfnoc/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/:/home/vrege/rfnoc/share/uhd/rfnoc/blocks/
The only difference is I can see is a new [RFNoC] option under [UHD] menu, but there are no blocks there. This new option came up on adding the "/home/vrege/rfnoc/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/" path to local_blocks_path I also tried method 1 and method 3: GRC_BLOCKS_PATH=/home/vrege/rfnoc/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/:/home/vrege/rfnoc/share/uhd/rfnoc/blocks/ and cp rfnoc/share/uhd/rfnoc/blocks/* .grc_gnuradio/ But unfortunately no luck with these either.
