Error in configure when searching for Berkeley DB

["Hyrum K. Wright" <hy...@mail.utexas.edu>]

I was trying to configure with a specific Berkeley DB, and ran across
this bug in configure.  This is on Mac OS X with an unmodified working
copy at r1043705.

[[[
svn-hackers:svn-trunk Hyrum$ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
--with-serf=/opt/local --with-apr=/opt/local
--with-apr-util=/opt/local --disable-shared
--with-berkeley-db=/opt/local/include/db46/db.h:/opt/local/include/db46/:/opt/local/lib/db46/:db

....

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating tools/backup/hot-backup.py
config.status: creating tools/hook-scripts/commit-access-control.pl
config.status: creating subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/Makefile.PL
config.status: creating packages/solaris/pkginfo
config.status: creating subversion/svn_private_config.h
config.status: executing svn_private_config.h commands
/opt/local/bin/gsed: -e expression #1, char 30: unknown option to `s'
svn-hackers:svn-trunk Hyrum$
]]]

I'm not sure where or why sed is getting an error in its expression.
This is GNU sed, version 4.2.1.

Because the header file is given via absolute path perhaps?  Does this help?
