Can't locate Circos.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Circos module) (@INC contains: /Users/ligeng/Desktop/3/lib /Users/ligeng/Desktop/3/../lib /Users/ligeng/Desktop/3 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.28/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.28) at ./circos line 490.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./circos line 490.

“Circos module” does not exist in https://metacpan.org/

how to solve this problem？

Has anybody else gotten stuck here at early stages? I'm here in 2023, hoping for the answer (●'◡'●)

Did you install Circos as described here

http://circos.ca/documentation/tutorials/configuration/installation/

If you moved the bin/ directory relative to the lib/ directory, then bin/circos may be unable to find lib/Circos.pm.

What is the location of all the files in your installation?

Thank you so much for replying! Both the 'bin' and 'lib' folders are currently located within a 'circos' folder which is directly on my C: drive

I can see the lib folder contains Circos.pm... should I move 'lib' elsewhere?

Sorry for my ignorance - new to this!

[Martin]

Don't move any files or directories in the distribution.

You should have

circos-v0.69-9/bin/circos

circos-v0.69-9/lib/Circos.pm

then

cd circos-v0.69-9

bin/circos

Circos will automatically look to include bin/../lib into its path for finding modules.
