If he got that message and he's using Windows, he does have cygwin
installed (it's an error message from the rpm command).
The problem is that cygwin likes to change its OS identification
string at random intervals, so the rpms we build rarely have the right
OS identification string. The fix is to install with the --ignore-os
option (the installation instructions are supposed to say that, but it
sometimes seems to get lost...).
It's there (although perhaps not the best text):
http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-2.x/doc/html/install-tinyos.html:
"If you are using Cygwin and installing the nesC RPM causes an error
that the RPM was built for Cygwin, add the --ignoreos option."
