[hpsdr] Hackaday article on GNU Radio Companion

[tbruns]

Greetings,

After building and installing the hpsdr gnuradio module as per the 
instructions in README.md on Ubuntu 14.04.3 I don't see the modules 
visible in gnuradio-companion. I tried creating ~/.gnuradio/config.conf 
with:

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

but gnuradio-companion seems to ignore this. Finally I symlinked the 
hpsdr_hermesNB.xml and hpsdr_hermesWB.xml files in 
/usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks to /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks 
and now when I start gnuradio I get:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ gnuradio-companion
Warning: Block validation failed:

different element values>

and of course the modules are not visible.

The library is installed:

# ldconfig --print-cache | grep hpsdr
         libgnuradio-hpsdr.so (libc6,x86-64) => 
/usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-hpsdr.so

Google hasn't been too friendly so far. Any suggestions would be 
appreciated as I continue to investigate.
