Yes it did mean export RM='rm -f'. I can't say why this did not work for you.
Obviously it needs to be set in the same shell that you are trying to
install from. I simply added

  alias rm='rm -f'

to my .bashrc script file, so that it is set for all shells, but this does
mean that you will no longer be warned when trying to remove files that do
exist. You could also try Ralf's other suggestion of unsetting RM, i.e.

  unset RM
