It would probably help if you ran the ebuild as root :)

The trick is that portage uses sandboxing. This means building is only
allowed
in /var/tmp/portage/<bla>

This means you must persuade anjuta to install in the destination root which
is given in an ebuild by ${D}. This technique makes it a lot easier to track
which files should become part of the package.

Oftern this persuading can be done with the DESTDIR variable, but sometimes
further tricks are nescesary. I advise you to look at some ebuilds (look for
PREFIX=${D}/usr/ ), and check the makefile of anjuta.
