I don't doubt it, I'll explain below.

You have to install gaim to run it.  It needs to be able to find the
protocol plugins, the pixmaps (i'm guessing your screenshot shows gaim
without any images), and the regular plugins.  It will unload any
plugins it can't load.  It probably tried to load the old plugins you
had installed, found unresolved symbols and all sorts of other chaos.

Install gaim, then run it from the installed binary.  Then it should
work.
