Not possible unfortunately. The MCC18 compiler is compiled to run under Windows (meaning it uses the Windows APIs etc) so WINE is needed to provide that compatibility layer. This is also why you can't run it on anything other than x86 (unless you use something like VMware or Virtual PC). Others have gotten it to work under Linux, but personally I think the hoops you have to jump through just aren't worth it.

So use VI then. On Wildstang all of our software people develop for the robot controller using vim and make. Since you can run the mcc18 compiler from the command line outside of MPLAB it is really easy to avoid it. My recommendation for people who prefer Unix-like OSes (I'm one of them) is just to install Cygwin on a Windows computer, and use Makefiles to build.
