Unfortunately, it's not that simple. UDF code is platform-dependent so FreeUDFLib.dll won't work on Linux. Some libraries have both Windows and Unix versions but, unfortunately, FreeUDFLib isn't one of them.

Suggestions: look for a similar function in one of the other libraries that DOES have versions for both platforms (e.g. ib_udf or the new fbudf, or look on the UDF page of the interbase2000.org Tools pages). Or, if the function from the FreeUDFLib is a "must have", see whether the Delphi code will recompile in Kylix as a shared object; or rewrite the function yourself in C or C++ and compile it yourself on Linux.
