ok i found the solution

there's an error at line 144 of mpich2-1.0.8.ebuild
a "\" is missing at the end of the line

is

    econf $(mpi_econf_args) ${c} ${romio_conf} \
>         --docdir=$(mpi_root)/usr/share/doc/${PF}
>         --with-pm=mpd:gforker \
>         --disable-mpe \
>         $(use_enable romio) \
>         $(use_enable !nocxx cxx) \
>         || die
>

should be

    econf $(mpi_econf_args) ${c} ${romio_conf} \
>         --docdir=$(mpi_root)/usr/share/doc/${PF} \
>         --with-pm=mpd:gforker \
>         --disable-mpe \
>         $(use_enable romio) \
>         $(use_enable !nocxx cxx) \
>         || die



how can i use git to send this in the main repo?
bye
