Hi Gerald and thanks for the quick response.
As a matter of fact the "dhcp-leasefile" was already set in my config, because 
I was using this old feature. Removing it makes dnsmasq start.

The "dhcp-range" I don't set because I run an authoritative ISC dhcpd on this 
very machine, and enabling this option makes dnsmasq act as a dhcp server. So 
I guess I was using dnsmasq v1 behaviour according to the man page. And I see 
now that it's overkill to run both dnsmasq and ISC dhcpd, because dnsmasq 
seem to support all the features one could possibly need in a small network.

I have solved my local problem by unsetting "dhcp-leasefile".

Thanks again!
Mikael
