You require a wiggler device driver for linux, which doesn't exist as far as I
know.  I think it is because Macraigor have not published the interface for the
wiggler and no body has taken the time to reverse engineer the product.

I have used the gdb from Object Softwares web site which has support for the
wiggler.  I think it was compiled with the mingw compiler.  I also have compiled
Insight (once known as tkgdb) for the Cygwin environment and I'm pretty sure that
it talked to the wiggler OK.
