Do I need to run the installer as root?

The warnings appeared again when trying to install another module; something specific to my environment, perhaps.

Yes, I don't think this is related to this module. Good luck figuring out what it is. Sounds like weird configuration of postgresql + something that is trying to send mails in that scenario. Poll does not send mails.
