  *** CIRCOS ERROR ***

  CONFIGURATION FILE ERROR

  Circos could not find the configuration file. To run Circos, you need to
  specify this file using the -conf flag. The configuration file contains all
  the parameters that define the image, including input files, image size,
  formatting, etc.

  If you do not use the -conf flag, Circos will attempt to look for a file
  circos.conf in several reasonable places such as . etc/ ../etc

  To see how configuration files work, create the example image, whose
  configuration and data are found in example/. From the Circos distribution
  directory,

      cd example

      ../bin/circos -conf ./circos.conf

  or use the 'run' script (UNIX only).

  Configuration files are described here

      http://circos.ca/tutorials/lessons/configuration/configuration_files/

  and the use of command-line flags, such as -conf, is described here

      http://circos.ca/tutorials/lessons/configuration/runtime_parameters/

  Windows users unfamiliar with Perl should read

  If you are having trouble debugging this error, first read the best practices
  tutorial for helpful tips that address many common problems

      http://www.circos.ca/documentation/tutorials/reference/best_practices

  The debugging facility is helpful to figure out what's happening under the
  hood

You're seeing this error because Circos cannot find the configuration file.

When you're using -conf FILE, make sure that the FILE exists.

If your file is elsewhere, use the full path to the file, e.g.

circos -conf /home/user/projects/01/circos.conf
