A better question would be - is your Squid working OK?
If it can't open the log files then its not installed properly (AFAIK)

Check the read permissions on the files - in fact, check if they even
exist !

/usr/local/squid/logs/NAME OF FILE

are they there? (I have cache.log squid.log store.log access.log - but
depends on how you configured squid)

If they exist then chown them to nobody

# chown nobody <file> 

then type:

# kill -hup 1

to restart squid and see if the errors stop.
