Trouble compiling fractal viewer Quat

I was busy trying to compile Quat, but ./configure spew these sed errors at me.

I'm not a dev or programmer, but I'm willing to learn. Some pointers on how to solve these kinds of problems should be enough to get me going.

EDIT: To help you help me help us all, here's a link where you can find the quat source.

Re: Trouble compiling fractal viewer Quat

Making a PKGBUILD would be best.  I've never used quat, but the following example got it to build on my PC.

pkgname=quat
pkgver=1.20
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Quat is a program for the calculation of genuine three dimensional fractals"
arch=('i686')
url="http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/phy11733/quat_e.html"
license=('GPL')
source=(http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/phy11733/download/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}

md5sums=('bd8326147fcd0e674a0f8d56a64fa787')

Re: Trouble compiling fractal viewer Quat

The sed commands fail once fltk is installed.  I'm sorry but I don't know enough sed to fix it.  The "unterminated `s' command" looks like quite a clue though.
