This looks like you are mixing the distro-provided packages and the self-

Check this guide: https://community.kde.org/KDE_PIM/Development it contains 
some environment settings to install PIM into an external directory so it 
doesn't clash with the system packages.

Looks like Akonadi is not finding the plugins, the link above wil probably 
help.
