From what I can see, in the book, the instructions have the second line of
the `sed` command as "-e ''/sphinx >/s/9/10/'' \" Note the quotes around
"/sphinx >/s/9/10" are two single quotes, not double quotes, which is
causing bash to error. Removing the extra set of single quotes (i.e. "-e
'/sphinx >/s/9/10' \") will allow the `sed` command to complete
successfully.

I just quickly checked the `sed` against a fresh download of the tarball
and verified that removing the extra set of single quotes does in fact work.

Thanks,
Eric
