My OS is Puppy Linux. I'm running MPLAB through WINE instead of Windows.

My programmer is a PICSTART Plus. I'm using a USB-serial converter to
connect the PICSTART Plus to a USB port on my laptop, which lacks real
serial ports.

I can figure out the port my PICSTART Plus (with the USB-serial cable) is
attached to by typing "dmesg|grep tty" in a shell window. (It's ttyUSB0.)

THE PROBLEM: How do I get MPLAB under WINE to recognize my PICSTART Plus? I
think I'm supposed to get Puppy Linux to recognize the PICSTART Plus as a
serial port. But how do I get Puppy Linux to recognize the PICSTART Plus?
And how do I get Puppy Linux to treat this USB port like a serial port?

In general, WINE does not work well with hardware components.

Why not try the native picp program. If you have further problem, you
can probably try GNUPIC mailing list which deals specifically with
open source PIC programming tools.
