For some reason I can't get it to work... I added the env var manually:

   export GRC_BLOCKS_PATH=/usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks

which did not seem to work (although that folder contains my xml-files 
of both blocks).

Then I did a search for the config.conf file which isn't on my file 
system, so I created one in ~/.grc_gnuradio (I have no ~/.gnuradio 
folder...):

  [grc]
  local_blocks_path=/usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks

No result... What do I do wrong?
