[support] drupal6 modules error

i'm new to drupal. i've installed the ubuntu package and gotten it up with
apache and mysql. i tried installing a calendar module:
http://drupal.org/project/calendar
(which required date and view) which i copied to:
/usr/share/drupal6/sites/all/modules
where 'sites' is a symlink to /etc/drupal/6/sites
when the packages are untarred, they have different different uid and gid,
so i fixed that with a:
chown -R root.root *

the packages show up in drupal under admin > site building > modules.
however, i got an error when i enabled the modules (don't recall the exact
error, but i'm thinking it is the same) and am now getting an error when i
try to configure them. for instance, the error for view is:
warning: Attempt to modify property of non-object in
/etc/drupal/6/sites/all/modules/calendar/includes/calendar_plugin_display_page.inc
on line 47.

this is the error i get under admin > site building > views btw.

it seems that i can still use these modules even with the warning. however,
what is this about and how do i fix this? google seems to indicate that it
might be a change in how newer php handles arrays?

so, i'm not sure if there is an issue with how or where i placed the
modules, my version of php, or drupal or just the module. if it is the
module, can someone offer suggestions to a good alternative?
