Another sed problem
I have a problem with a string variable which needs to be replaced with sed. However the string which needs to be replaced is ${INSTHOME}. It does not matter how I try to delimit it it will not accept the string and tries to resolve the contents which of course it cannot.

Any help will be appreciated.

       -tmpdir Place to unpack bundles.

       -installdir
	       Directory to which files shall be written. Default is $GLOBUS_LOCATION

       -man    Prints the manual page and exits.

       -version
	       Prints the version of GPT and exits.

EXAMPLES

       For the command:

	 gpt-install foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz

	 foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced.
	 foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. It is newer.
	 foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. Wrong flavor.
	 foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type
	 foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type

       For the command:

	 gpt-install -force foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz

	 foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced.
	 foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will be replaced.

	 foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. It is newer.
	 foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will be replaced.
	 foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
	 foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. It is newer.

       For the command:

	 gpt-install -force -loose foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz

	 foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will be replaced.
	 foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will be replaced.
	 foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
	 foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.

BUGS

       gpt-install currently does not honor static build numbers.  Instead it will replace any pgm_static package that is the same version or
       older.  For example:

	 gpt-install -force foo-2.1-2-gcc32-pgm_static.tar.gz

	 foo-1.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
	 foo-2.1-1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
	 foo-2.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
	 foo-2.2-1-gcc32-pgm_static will not be replaced.
	 foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm will not be replaced.
