Running MPLAB and JEDIVCS under Gutsy-based Linux Distributions?

[techwizrd]

Well, I am on the Team 116 Programming Team. Unfortunately, I cannot do much as I cannot get MPLAB and JEDIVCS working under my system.

I personally run a custom built Linux Distribution with a modified kernel optimized code for the i686 processor, and optimized boot scripts. I use GNOME and XFCE as my Desktop Environments with Compiz-Fusion running for 3d graphics. All of my packages are custom compiled from the Ubuntu Gutsy repositories.

I done some searching around Google to try to figure out how to run MPLAB and JEDIVCS under Linux. I found little or no hints on what to do. I checked CD and saw few threads. None of them came to a conclusion.

I do realize will need to use Wine to run it and I have heard of others who have been able to run MPLAB and JEDIVCS under Linux. Can anyone provide tips, hints, or even a howto on running MPLAB and JEDIVCS under Linux? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advamce.
