I'm a bit late on this thread, and was expecting someone else to suggest this, but not seeing it:
Have you tried installing the ed package?
I ran into the same problem, and, after installing ed, it worked perfectly. My system shows that ed-0.2-29mdk is now installed.

From: "Per-Olof Litby (Reg'l Mgr - Java Web Services - Nordic/Baltic - Sun Microsystems)" Greetings,
I've attempted to install Acrobat Reader on my 9.1 system, and I get the following error - apparently the installer expects to use a command that isn't available. See below.
Can anyone help out?
----
Enter installation directory for Acrobat 5.0.5 [/usr/local/Acrobat5]
Installing platform independent files ... Done
Installing platform dependent files ... Done ./INSTALL: line 219: ed: command not found ERROR installing /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread
