If that was from my site, I apologize. Although my *.tar.gz file was never messed with, and installed flawlessly for me. Using it however seems a bit strange. I do like the interface, however compiling a small program turned into a huge file. I created a little clock using a label, timer control, and a button to exit. The file compiled into 408k!!! And if that's not bad enough it also requires making sure a lib*.so (forget the exact name right now) is in the path to use it. That file is part of kylix and it 1.5mb. So to package a little clock turns into 2mb! That overall seems ridiculous to me, but then I'm pretty new to kylix and delphi in general and maybe just did it all wrong. But if that's how big kylix programs are when created I don't think I'll be using it much for anything bigger than a splash screen. What luck has anyone else had?
