Can't install gnome

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

I tried to install gnome using macports on my G4-PowerBook running  
Mac OS X 10.4, but I was not successful (the result is attached  
below). I sent an email to bonzini at gnu.org (as indicated in the error  
log), who replied (i) that he is only responsible for gnu sed, not  
macports and (ii) that macports invokes sed the wrong way. Can anyone  
help or shed some light on this problem?

Error: reinplace: sed: invalid option -- E
Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

-n, --quiet, --silent
                  suppress automatic printing of pattern space
   -e script, --expression=script
                  add the script to the commands to be executed
   -f script-file, --file=script-file
                  add the contents of script-file to the commands to  
be executed
   -i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]
                  edit files in place (makes backup if extension  
supplied)
   -l N, --line-length=N
                  specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l'  
command
   --posix
                  disable all GNU extensions.
   -r, --regexp-extended
                  use extended regular expressions in the script.
   -s, --separate
                  consider files as separate rather than as a single  
continuous
                  long stream.
   -u, --unbuffered
                  load minimal amounts of data from the input files  
and flush
                  the output buffers more often
       --help     display this help and exit
       --version  output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.  All
remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
specified, then the standard input is read.
