Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Companion execute error

[Josh Blum]

The blks package was removed from gnuradio a while back. And this error 
is a problem with the most current release of GRC and gnuradio.

I have been meaning to release the current trunk as a version 0.70 
(which will fix this problem). After this release, I will replace the 
grc trunk with the branch I have been working on.

The branch supports code generation and some other neat features. 
Checkout this (in progress) guide 
http://www.joshknows.com/pages/grc_gnuradio.html#new if anyone is 
interested. When this semester is over, I plan to finish the guide/make 
tutorials and examples/add features like hierarchical blocks...

Unless there are any objections, I will release the 0.70 later today.
