Why are you reading random documentation on the wiki? if you want to learn about overlays and writing ebuilds read the developer documentation. And you don't seem to be folowing it properly either, besides what was pointed out already, you are trying to run the ebuild comand as your user, and you don't seem to have made an overlay(You shouldn't be using hour $HOME as your overlay), also it should be run as the portage user or root, a lot of documentation you will find about this stuff won't guide step by step because it is assumed you understand about overlays already, and have looked at the developer documentation.
