Comment (by loopuz):

 hello I have exactly the same problem and i am under OS X 10.8.5 Mountain
 Lions

 I have tried different version of tor from 6.0.7 til the latest 6.5.1
 Something changed in my configuration but i dont know what .

 if i boot my macbook  from an old backup disk (from december 2016 tor
 6.0.7) everything works  fine... i tried to copy the same application from
 the backup to my actual mac  (that is "org.mozilla.tor browser.plist" file
 , the folders "org.mozilla.tor browser" and "tor browser data" and
 !TorBrowser.app obviously) but i still get the same error!

 if i run sudo /Applications/!TorBrowser.app/TorBrowser/Tor/tor.real

 i get

 (which i dont understand as i dont understand any UNIX or
 networking...anyway it seems that it should work but no browser is
 showing...)

 i am willing to help debugging if someone tell me what to do!
