This is probably caused by a copy of QtWebKit that was build on a later version of the OS than you're currently using (for example building QtWebKit on OSX 10.6 and running on OSX 10.5). The symbol that's mentioned is not a public symbol in CoreFoundation in OSX 10.6 or 10.7 (I haven't checked older SDKs), it could therefore also be a copy of QtWebKit build on an older version of the OS that is accessing a private symbol that got removed in a later release.
