Comment 5 for bug 1547519

Thanks for the workaround Kristian, it works like a charm :)

This question is more "philosophical" than technical for me: I like the idea of using circos with fixed location for the config files. This way I can work in clean circos projects, where only project-specific files are located and no general config files (or symlinks to /etc/).

I agree that adding /etc/circos to the search path would be an ideal solution, but this is behind my capabilities. Actually, isn't line 801 of /usr/share/perl5/Circos/Configuration.pm meant to provide this functionality?
