Reading my own instructions:

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/LFS#KDE-4.4

"PolKit-Qt is the wrong version

use this tarball:

ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/apps/KDE4.x/admin/polkit-qt-0.9.3.tar.bz2"

Will that take care of the "PolKit-Qt" issue?

Then there is the PolKit-Qt-1" question.  Do you know where I could
download: "PolKit-Qt-1-0.95.2"?
