Do you have the Qt headers installed?  If you have the QTDIR environment 
variable defined, look in $QTDIR/include for files such as qwidget.h (and 
many others).  If not, just search on your system for qwidget.h.  

If you don't have the Qt headers installed, you need to install them (sorry, I 
don't know how to do it under Solaris).  You will also need the KDE headers, 
such as kmainwindow.h.

If you do have the headers installed, then the problem is much more simple: 
you just have to tell configure where to find them.  Like so:

./configure --prefix=<path to kde> --with-qt-dir=<path to qt>

where "<path to kde>" should be replaced by the directory of your KDE 
installation, and likewise for "<path to qt>".  For example, if you found 
qwidget.h at /usr/local/include/qwidget.h and kmainwindow.h 
at /opt/kde/include/kmainwindow.h, then you'd use:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde --with-qt-dir=/usr/local

good luck,
Jason
