Which link? Both (c2c & gpasm) worked for me just now.

As for editors, if there is anything Linux has, it's
an embarrassment of text editors, including several
versions of Emacs: Gnu Emacs, X Emacs, Jonathon's Own
Version of Emacs (jove)... not that any of them hold
a candle to pretty much any complete version of vi. :-)

Hi-tech's PIC C compiler is available for Unix, but
I don't know if that includes Linux.

If you need a EDA software, the Linux version of Cadsoft's
Eagle -- see http://www.cadsoft.de -- is finally shipping.
I've tried it and it is virtually indistinguishable from
the Windows version... they did an excellent job.
If you want a fully free and open product, you can
also try gEDA -- http://www.geda.seul.org/ -- but
it is not yet complete (although they've made remarkable
progress).

Also, for programming the PIC, as long as you only need
to do 16F84s you can use PICPRG with most parallel port
programmers -- see http://www.tatoosh.com/nexus/picpgmr.shtml

I think that the biggest gap in the Linux development
enviornment for the PIC is the complete lack of any
support for in-circuit emulation. If you don't need
that, and you're comfortable in a Unix-type environment,
I think you can do pretty well.

It would be really great if someone like Tech Tools
would embrace the Linux platform; having an IDE like
TDE and an emulator like the CVM working under Linux
would make Linux into a very nice platform for PIC
development.
