Your recipe for installing mplab
might be a bit outdated. Could you
try the simplified recipe in
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8407#c1
?

Now I consider Wine+MPLAB not that useful if one wants to use the hardware components like ICD2. Maybe VMWare is better.

MPLAB 7.62 installation under Ubuntu is pretty easy. MLAB 8.0 seems to have some problems. Now I do not use Wine+MPLAB anyway. I only need C18/C30/C32 and they work fine under Wine without the need to install MPLAB.

Hi
I've put a small app that helps to develop PIC things on the net, at www.slgnps.com. It runs in linux(under Mint 4.0 at least under JRE 6.

It embeds user code and a small interpreter into a hex file
that you then burn into the pic.

cheers
