For some reason my custom block won't show up in gnuradio on my mac (but works fine on my Linux servers). I've tried various things over the past few weeks. Not making much progress so posting here to get some suggestions.
OS: OSX/Mac High Sierra.
gnuradio is installed with Macports, Version 3.7.11.
$ which gnuradio-companion
/opt/local/bin/gnuradio-companion
$ port installed|grep -i gnuradio
gnuradio @3.7.11_7+docs+grc+jack+log4cpp+logging+portaudio+qtgui+sdl+swig+uhd+wavelet+zeromq
gnuradio @3.7.11_7+docs+grc+jack+log4cpp+logging+portaudio+qtgui+sdl+swig+uhd+wavelet+wxgui+zeromq (active)
My custom block installs elsewhere and even on my previous mac, but not on this new one. Something must be different.

gnuradio-companion even lists the precise location where my custom block was installed, as one of the block paths.

But the block (block name getfreqcpp) is not showing up in the list...
At the commandline I can import the block in Python.
