autoconf: Permission denied

Ok, this is driving us crazy.

We bought a dedicated (OS: FreeBSD 5.x) with layeredtech.com (very good service) and well, everything is fine except that when we try to build our software (a battle.net server), it says:

bash$ make
The configure script is out of date; rebuilding...
cd . && autoconf
autoconf: not found
*** Error code 127

We tried to fix that by making a symbolic link
# ln -s /usr/ports/devel/autoconf259 /usr/local/bin

NEW problem

bash$ make
The configure script is out of date; rebuilding...
cd . && autoconf
autoconf: Permission denied
*** Error code 127


Tried fixing it by changing the permissions of the symbolic link as well as the autoconf259 directory to 777 but it doesn't fix it. What is wrong exactly?

Thanks
