Comment (by jabu):

 Receiving this error on Sierra with default torrc in Tor 0.2.9.9 / Tor
 Browser 6.5. Have also tried other versions of Tor Browser (6.0 & 7.0a1)
 which still produce the error.

 The only solution is to run tor under sudo.

 I don't know much about debugging tor, would be happy to provide more
 information with instructions.
