GNU Sed Problem
Hi, I'm and Android developer using Mac OSX 10.7. I use Dsixda's Android Kitchen to develop my roms. I had it working fine on 10.6.8 and it still worked flawlessly when updating to 10.7. I installed Macports, and installed some packages, and then tried to run the Android Kitchen. I CD'd to the folder and ran the ./menu command, and here is the response I get:
Code:
sed: illegal option -- -
usage: sed script [-Ealn] [-i extension] [file ...]
sed [-Ealn] [-i extension] [-e script] ... [-f script_file] ... [file ...]
Error: You do not have the correct version of 'sed' installed.
Refer to the FAQ for the HTC Android Kitchen at
xda-developers.com to ensure you have installed the GNU
version of sed.
I DO have GNU sed involved. I reinstalled OSX but it was no help. I also checked the FAQ with no help. If possible, I would like to avoid a full system wipe. Is there any way to fix this? It does work if I run a specific script, but it would be nice not to have to do that every time I want to.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
