Kylix is a Borland IDE that is basically Delphi (Object Pascal) for Linux, although the last version did include C++. As far as I know the Kylix project died at borland. I use Delphi at work so I was psyched when Kylix came along. BUT....kylix never ran on FreeBSD, people tried for sometime but I don't think anyone ever got it beyond installing. As for that lib if its not a lib supplied by kylix then just grab the lib and install it, but with the "qt" in the name I suspect that its some borland modified qt based lib. As for data modeling I have to think there are some out there but I don't use any so someone else will have to tell you.
