*** Bug 154973 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I had similar issues with mpich-1.2.7_p1 not installing. I believe it has to do with an incompatibility with autoconf-2.61 (which is included in its depends). When I force it to ignore dependencies (emerge -uO mpich) it installs fine using autoconf 2.60 and at least upon light testing, mpicc and mpirun work fine.
I get the following on ~x86: >>> Unpacking mpich-1.2.7p1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/mpich-1.2.7_p1/work * Applying 1.2.7_p1-fix-romio-sandbox-breakage.patch ...

I do not know much internals of ebuilds but the following did the trick for me. I edited mpich-1.2.7_p1.ebuild like below. Maybe you can someone force eautoreconf to execute specific version of autoconf? src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}" grep -FrlZ '$(P) ' . | xargs -0 sed -i -e 's/\$(P)//' # Fix broken romio epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PV}-fix-romio-sandbox-breakage.patch pushd "${S}"/romio rm configure eautoreconf popd epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PV}-allow-fhs-afs.patch pushd "${S}"/mpid/server rm configure # do not run 2.62 autoconf but rather force expected old version # eautoreconf autoconf-2.13 autoheader-2.13 libtoolize popd }
(In reply to comment #4) I had the same problem with this on a Lemote Fulong mips based machine.
sys-cluster/mpich is gone.
