The only way where portage accept it is, if I rename the file with mv before the running the install process. I don't no why.

the problem above is, that portage won't allow any install routine to 
write somewhere
else as into /var/tmp/portage/<your_package/image/

Most packages provide a variable you can set to do this (often called 
DESTDIR or destdir).
When I've such a package I try to find the cause of the problem in a 
Makefile[.in]

For above error I found a missing DESTDIR in the Makefile[.in]  in 
/var/tmp/portage/kguitar-0.5/work/kguitar-0.5/kguitar_shell (--> this 
was the location your error pointed to).

I removed this error with sed

sed -i -e 
's:\(\$(mkinstalldirs)\)\(.*\)\($(TEXMF)/tex/generic/kgtabs\):\1 
$(DESTDIR)\3:' -e 's:\(\$(INSTALL_DATA).*$(srcdir)/kgtabs.tex\ *\):\1 
$(DESTDIR):' kguitar_shell/Makefile.in

above line tells sed to find a line which is described between the first 
: and second:
\(...\) describes a pattern to which I refer with \1 in between the 
second : and third :

The above sed-oneliner changes this two lines to:

-       $(mkinstalldirs) $(TEXMF)/tex/generic/kgtabs
-       $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/kgtabs.tex 
$(TEXMF)/tex/generic/kgtabs/kgtabs.tex
+       $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(TEXMF)/tex/generic/kgtabs
+       $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/kgtabs.tex 
$(DESTDIR)$(TEXMF)/tex/generic/kgtabs/kgtabs.tex


So you either you can use sed to adjust the Makefile or create a diff 
and ship it with the ebuild.


Although in this ebuild there was another problem which  I solved with 
deleting none working paths.

Hope to help a bit for writing new ebuilds ;-)

Great
