I have installed the vidalia by following these instructions everything went as they mentioned. When I started vidalia it gave me the error:

Vidalia was unable to start Tor. Check your settings to ensure the correct name and location of your Tor executable is specified.

I found that bug here and followed their instructions to fix it and now after that

it says:

Vidalia detected that the Tor software exited unexpectedly. Please check the message log for recent warning or error messages.

Oct 18 02:15:06.938 [Warning] Before Tor can create a control socket in "/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to be accessible only by the user account that is running Tor. (On some Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can connect to it, so Tor is being careful.)
