Is this correct ?

You need to check the configuration for your specific distro. For example, on Debian & derivatives there is a file /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server which amongst other things allows you to list interfaces to listen on. I suspect that somewhere there is an empty list being passed, or a list containing non-existent interfaces (and none which do actually exist), and so you are getting this error.
If all else fails, try starting it manually with the right options and see what happens - if you get it to run then it localises the issue to environment/arguments used by the normal startup scripts.
