Added  a new error solution for incorrect permissions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  You need to install the OpenSSL libraries and recompile Erlang with SSL enabled.
  
+ == Incorrect Permissions ==
+ 
+ === Problem ===
+ 
+ {{{
+ $ bin/couchdb
+ Apache CouchDB 0.9.0a691361-incubating (LogLevel=info) is starting.
+ {"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,shutdown}},[{couch_server_sup,start_server,1},{erl_eval,do_apply,5},{erl_eval,exprs,5},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}
+ 
+ Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
+ init terminating in do_boot ()
+ }}}
+ 
+ === Solution ===
+ 
+ You need to make sure that the user running couchdb has permissions to write to /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb and /usr/local/var/log/couchdb.
