Yes, this is one of the things I wrote in my article about Kylix.
There is no setup tool à la 'installshield' or 'wise'; given the 20+ 
libraries that are needed to run a Kylix application, this will give 
some nice setup problems. Especially since they require specially 
patched linux loaders and glibc versions.
