It probably spotted an RPM-based system, and so complained about trying to
install the non-RPM distro on an RPM system.

Go into install.sh and replace

--SNIP--
if [ -x /bin/rpmbuild ]; then
   RPMBUILD=/bin/rpmbuild
elif [ -x /usr/bin/rpmbuild ]; then
   RPMBUILD=/usr/bin/rpmbuild
elif [ -x /usr/local/bin/rpmbuild ]; then
   RPMBUILD=/usr/local/bin/rpmbuild
elif [ -x /bin/rpm ]; then
   RPMBUILD=/bin/rpm
elif [ -x /usr/bin/rpm ]; then
   RPMBUILD=/usr/bin/rpm
elif [ -x /usr/local/bin/rpm ]; then
   RPMBUILD=/usr/local/bin/rpm
else
--SNIP--

with

--SNIP--
if /bin/true; then
--SNIP--
