No, but your install will benefit from a couple of additional libraries. 
 From the README:

Recommended libraries (install prior to running installer)
Development versions of packages are required for headers.
==========================================================
1) readline (Python command-line history)
      libreadline5 libreadline5-dev readline-common
2) libssl (SSL support, used by SecureMailHost for TLS)
      libssl libssl-dev
