I also installed elpa-pdf-tools and ran "M-x pdf-tools-install" successfully, and "M-x pdf-tools-help" also works fine. The "Warning (comp)" is just a warning for native compilation which is usually harmless. It would be great if you can generate a bug report using "reportbug" or "M-x debian-bug" which will include more info about the package, its dependencies, and your system. Also if you see any command that fails run, it would be good to have a backtrace attached in the report.
