Having trouble upgrading AbiWord2 from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 w/ portupgrade:

===>  Configuring for AbiWord2-2.0.1
./autogen.sh: /usr/local/libexec/automake14/automake: not found
Creating aclocal.m4: /usr/local/libexec/automake14/aclocal -I ac-helpers

You can run ./configure now.

env: /usr/local/libexec/automake14/automake: No such file or directory
*** Error code 127

Stop in /usr/ports/editors/AbiWord2.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa
/tmp/portupgrade29194.14 make
** Fix the problem and try again.
** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped /
!:failed)
        ! editors/AbiWord2 (AbiWord2-2.0.0)     (unknown build error)

Although it complains about it, automake does exist there:

su-2.05b# ls -Fal /usr/local/libexec/automake14/automake
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  25 Aug 26 00:30
/usr/local/libexec/automake14/automake@ -> /usr/local/bin/automake14

autogen.err provides more insight:

./autogen.sh: /usr/local/libexec/automake14/aclocal: not found
./autogen.sh: /usr/local/libexec/automake14/automake: not found
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.52 or higher is required for this script

And I do have autoconf 2.53 installed:

su-2.05b# pkg_info | grep autoconf
autoconf-2.13.000227_5 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x
platforms
autoconf-2.53_1     Automatically configure source code on many Un*x
platforms

Strangely enough, the begining of the make for abiword thought things were
kosher:

===>   AbiWord2-2.0.1 depends on file:
/usr/local/libexec/automake14/automake - found
===>   AbiWord2-2.0.1 depends on file:
/usr/local/libexec/autoconf213/autoconf - found

So is there something just screwed up on my machine somewhere?
