The easiest way to get this error message is not to start Tor,
or have it listening on another address than Privoxy is expecting.

Make sure that Tor is running and that its local address
is the one Privoxy is configured to use:

fk at TP51 ~ $lynx -dump http://config.privoxy.org/show-status | grep socks4
   [46]forward-socks4a / 10.0.0.2:9050 .

fk at TP51 ~ $sockstat -4l -p 9050
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS      
256      tor        862   5  tcp4   10.0.0.2:9050         *:*
