The variables are not used correctly, so give this a try instead :

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#set -x

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
    echo "usage: help.sh LIMIT"
exit
fi

LIMIT=$1
echo "LIMIT =" $LIMIT

SUM=0

while [ $SUM -lt $LIMIT ]
 do
    read -p "Please enter a number: " I
    SUM=`expr $SUM + $I`
    echo "I = $I and SUM = $SUM"
 done

mlib_ImageStdDev(3MLIB) 				    mediaLib Library Functions					   mlib_ImageStdDev(3MLIB)

NAME
mlib_ImageStdDev - image standard deviation SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ] #include <mlib.h> mlib_status mlib_ImageStdDev(mlib_d64 *sdev, const mlib_image *img, const mlib_d64 *mean); DESCRIPTION
The mlib_ImageStdDev() function computes the standard deviation for each channel in the source image. It uses the following equation: 1 w-1 h-1 sdev[i] = { ----- * SUM SUM (img[x][y][i] - mean[i])**2 }**0.5 w*h x=0 y=0 where, in the case of mean == NULL, 1 w-1 h-1 mean[i] = ----- * SUM SUM img[x][y][i] w*h x=0 y=0 PARAMETERS
The function takes the following arguments: sdev Pointer to standard deviation array, whose size is the number of channels in the source image. sdev[i] contains the standard devia- tion of channel i. img Pointer to input image. mean Pointer to pre-computed mean array for each channel. (If NULL, it will be computed.) mean[i] contains the mean of channel i. RETURN VALUES
The function returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE. ATTRIBUTES
