It looks like you're hitting a non-fatal error at some point during psql
startup when you're running as the "postgres" user. It seems to be a
permissions issue. Do you still get the error if you run

sudo -u postgres psql --no-psqlrc

?

You may also want to create a Postgres user (possibly a superuser) matching
your operating system user if you have not already done so to avoid having
to deal with sudo for connecting.
