Hi Victor,

you need to make sure that the Qt you build QtCreator against is built  
with webkit support. You don't have to download any seperate WebKit  
sources, it's all included in Qt's source code.
You can tell Qt's configure script explicitly that it should try to  
compile with webkit via the -webkit option, e.g.
./configure -webkit
in Qt's build directory. But actually it should be the default. Try if  
you can find and run Qt's webkit demo in $QTDIR/demos/browser/ 
Browser.app
