Never had that problem, and don't know why it would exist, but, if all you 
need to do to resolve it is create an empty file with the right 
permissions this should work:

sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf

Notice that the file above is different than what you typed.  My guess, 
but maybe I'm wrong, is that you mean /etc/resolv.conf, not 
resolve.config, but double check the error you're getting to see.  If you 
really need resolve.config then use that.

All I really know is you can use the touch command to create empty files. 
Just make sure you create one with the exact right name.  My guess, again, 
is you really want /etc/resolv.conf
