This software: http://www.astromatic.net/software/sextractor
the installation directions said to use rpm (the "easy" way).
well it didn't work, so I've been trying to install rpm so that I could
do what the directions told me to do.
Why do you say not to use rpm on a Mac?
Also I had issues with Homebrew because it broke my gcc compiler and I
had to re-install the Xcode command line tools.
But it doesn't matter. I just want to know why I'm getting that error
message.

What software are you trying to install?
Almost certainly (if on Mac Os X), you should be using
MacPorts or HomeBrew to install software, not rpm.
