I am confused. Are you using the 9V supply or not?

I do not know how a PICDEM 4 work and how to power up it.
What was the connection under Windows? Were you using USB and
the 9V supply or were you using the serial connection
with the 9V supply?

However, if you are using a serial connection, you need
the 9V supply even under Windows.

Anyway, this is not a gputils issue. gputils has nothing to
do with ICD2.

Do you mean that the target power is too low even if you
power the ICD2 with 9V supply and LPLAB has no control
of the target power? That is quite possible. Anyway LPLAB is only 
suppose to support programming with ICD2 and take note that LPLAB 
is not really functional in my testing. More hackers are 
needed to make it working. You will be much better off with
a Wisp628 under Linux now.
