sed command works on Fedora/Ubuntu, but doesn't work in Mac

Hi, I have a question.
I define a function using sed command:
Code:
replace()
{
    searchterm=$1
    replaceterm=$2
    sed -e "s/$searchterm/$replaceterm/ig" $3 > $WORK'tempfile.tmp'
    mv $WORK'tempfile.tmp' $3    
}

Then I call
Code:
replace 'test = 0' 'test = 1' $myfile

This code works well in both Ubuntu and Fedora, but when my teacher executed the script in Mac, he got the following error:
Code:
sed: 1: "s/test = 0/test = 1/ig\n": bad flag in substitute command: 'i'

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac to test. Can anybody tell me how I should modify the source to make it work in Mac as well. Thanks in advance.

NAME
impressive-gettransitions - Generate Impressive info scripts for LaTeX presentations SYNOPSIS
impressive-gettransitions FILE.tex DESCRIPTION
A simple script to produce a .info file for use with Impressive, using special comments in a LaTeX/Beamer file. FILE.tex is a file to be parsed into .info file. For each /fullpath/blah.tex /fullpath/blah.pdf.info gets produced. SYNTAX
In the LaTeX document, impressive-gettransitions counts the pages to determine the PDF slide number of each one. The simpler page changes are automatically detected, that is: egin{frame} and: pause Other, more elaborated page changes must be noted with a %O comment: item<1-> Foo item<2-> Bar %O The transition to apply can be specified in a %O comment: egin{frame} %O SlideUp OPERATION
When the .info file corresponding to the LaTeX document already exist, impressive-gettransitions does not clear it, but only adds the transitions if finds to it. Thus, if you modified your document in a way that requires to completely replace the transitions, manually clear the PageProps section of the .info file. This can be done by running the following sed command: sed -i -e "/^PageProps = {/,/^}/d" FILE.info SEE ALSO
