You got it right, grab GPASM AND GPSIM and other accessories from
www.dattalo.com/gnupic/gpsim.html.
but also get picp from www.cosmodog.com/pic/
Scott - can you send this guy the list of other sites you sent to my
boss once, had more than this but included these two sites.

Generally because it's Linux you'll only find source, but they are in
tarballs and/or .rpm files.

Yep the linux compiler is on a CD, I use it quite frequently at work.
Does the job wonderfully. Only problem is that the latest release of
Hitech 'PICC' (7.86) they forgot about the Linux version. But I haven't
seen any bugs yet anyway, even the CONFIG bits and Data EEPROM can be
compiled for the new Flash parts, very impressive (and i don't even have
shares in Hitech.

Scott answered this, and I don't really know what you mean.
Do you mean, will you hvae to tweak KDE to get GPSIM working - probably
not.
If you mean, what drivers need to be installed, well try installing the
package and see what it says. It might be fine... if you find problems
with gpsim and libreadline.so contact myself or Scott as we've worked
through this one.
