Kopete 0.9.0 on gentoo - missing plug-ins.

Hello, everyone!
I hope someone here can give me a hint about the following issue.
I had installed Gentoo Linux 2004.1 - all compiled from source. Then I ran Kopete 0.8.2 but after Yahoo disconnected me I decided to upgrade. Now I am running 0.9.0 kopete and my plug-ins are gone. If I go under Settings // Configure Plug-ins all I see on the left-hand side is "Alias", 'KopeTeX", and "Netmeeting". I wonder where my MSN, Yahoo and ICQ plug-ins disappeared.
Has any of you experienced something similar too and does anyone know what's the steps to fix this?
Thank you for any hints in advance,
Roumen.

Is there something that doesn't work because the plugins are not listed? It is, for example, possible that the developers decided to load the protocol plugins when an account is created. So the plugin would be inserted automatically when necessary.

BTW: I don't have the protocol plugins either, but the Jabber protocol does work.

I doubt it...

Hm, I doubt it. In my first install I had all my plug-ins right in there. If I upgrade there should be no reason for me to lose all my plug-ins and get some other crappy plug-ins instead.
Too bad I don't know any C++ or QT - or I would get this taken care of.
Right now I guess all I can do is bitch, make sad faces :( and hope someone helps us out.
Roumen.

The plugins should be in /usr/kde/3.3/lib/kde3/kopete_*.so and /usr/kde/3.3/lib/kde3/kcm_kopete_*.so. I have about 14 plugins, but none of them are protocols. Are the plugins installed there?

But then if you look into the configuration window all I see is this: http://mathcs.concord.edu/~fatmak/screenshot.jpg
So I don't know what's up :(.
Let me know if you find out something.

I found a possible solution on forums.gentoo.org. Maybe that works...
