Comment(by akwala):

 Replying to [comment:1 rransom]:
 > Duplicate of #6178.

 The comment on the Duplicate (#6178) seems to attribute this to the
 absence of the default datadir ~/.vidalia/. In my case this directory does
 exist as does ~/.vidalia/torrc, which I've been using. I also have ~/.tor
 that does not contain torrc, but there is /etc/tor/torrc in which all
 options are commented out (which I assume means that their default values
 will be used). Given this, not sure why /usr/bin is being looked at as a
 location for the data directory.
