Dear Circos Community,


Thanks for all the helpful information you have been posting to help us beginners limp forward. It has been a great help in eliminating some of my errors, but I unforunatly come with yet another GD error.


I am running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on a VM and have been having a huge issue with GD. So far, the best advice I have run is from http://kylase.github.io/CircosAPI/circos-on-linux-virtual-machine/, in which the errors have been minimized to:


*** REQUIRED MODULE IS MISSING ***

You are missing the Perl module GD::Polyline. Use CPAN to install it as described in this tutori...


'CPAN install GD::Polyline' reports that this module is up to date (0.2).


However, trying to find it via locate GD::Polyline gives no information and trying: perl -MGD::Polyline -e 'print 1' , as suggested elsewhere, gives the classical “Can't located loadable object for module GD in @INC (@INC contains: …).


Perhaps I have it, but I was unable to compile it using the multiple attempts at the GD library as suggested in multiple locations. The good news is that I ran run: 'gdlib-config –all' with relevant information being produced, so I believe I have the library/complier(?).


Lastly, trying to install GD via the .tar.gz at http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/L/LD/LDS/GD-2.56.tar.gz is why I have been trying so many alternative approach, as trying this method results in a make error:
