Re: Cannot find GNU Radio "config.conf" file

Hi,

GNU Radio falls back to the old path when it finds no config in the new path but one in
the old.

That's why we have the `gnuradio-config-info` utility; it will tell you where the system
configuration and the user configuration paths are, when run as `gnuradio-config-info
--prefsdir` and `gnuradio-config-info --userprefsdir`, respectively.

Best regards,
Marcus
