My aim is to run Circos plot on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed every perl modules required except GD and GD::Polyline. When I run the command $sudo cpan GD, it fails to install GD. I found similar problems reported Here and here. But I couldn’t understand and solve it. Can anyone know an alternative way to install it?
Here is the error,

If no options are passed on the command line. The program will
attempt to autoconfigure itself with the gdlib-config program (present
in GD versions 2.0.27 or later). Otherwise it will prompt for these
values interactively.
