FreeUDFLib.dll won't work on Linux. Some libraries have both Windows and
Unix versions but, unfortunately, FreeUDFLib isn't one of them.

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.
