Actually, the only thing it stops is running any app's I create WITH Kylix 
outside of Kylix and they only depend on one lib, libqtintf.so.2.2.4, but, 
since I don't know Pascal that well, I think I'll stick with kdevelop.

On a related note, I've got kdevelop2.0 installed and for the most part I 
quite like it's look and feel. I tried to create a KDE based app, not knowing 
anything about widget programming, but using the create wizard. After I got 
all the kde-devel installed and re-configured kdevelop to reconise everything 
was installed, I used the wizard to create a blank KDE app. Everything went 
fine, until I tried to compile the blank app. The build complained:

I've got /usr/lib/libjpeg.a but what is libjpeg.la? I can not  find any 
reference to .la libs anywhere? Is there something wrong with kdevelop's 
settings? I thought libs were either .a for static or .so for shared. But 
then I also screwed up my libs so I guess that shows how much I know about 
programming.
