Kopete: Impossible to add the protocol 'xxxx'

Anyone have any idea why I keep getting this error?

Everytime I try to add an account in Kopete I get an error dialog like this:
Impossible to add the protocol 'xxxx'

It doesn't matter if I am adding AIM, IRC, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, SMS, or Yahoo.

This is a fresh install. I mv'ed my .kde3.2 dir and let KDE recreate it with default settings just to make sure it wasn't a misconfiguration of KDE. A google didn't turn up much in english.

Kopete 0.8.1
KDE 3.2.1

Maybe I didn't emerge eveything I needed. (I did a emerge kde and emerge kopete)

TIA for any input you have.

Ah! Nevermind.

I found the answer here:
http://www.kde-forum.org/viewtopic.php?t=2448&highlight=impossible+add+protocol

Basically the answer is: emerge -C kopete

Kopete is already included in the KDE/Network package and emerging it again separately causes problems if you have KDE/Network installed...

Wonder why?
