Client config help - TOR will not start - directory information "not enough to build a circuit"

I installed v1.2.12-rc and find that TOR is unable to start (running as 
client).   The obvious message is that it can't connect to 
localhost:9051.  This is a first-time install, straight out of the box, 
no config changes made other than turning up the debug level.   Any 
takers to help me get the setup going?

I searched the wiki and web for the errors in the logs, got a couple of 
hits on the errors, but no responses.
To my knowledge, none of my outbound ports are restricted.

Message log and debug log below:
