You are better off asking this question from the CCS helpdesk.

Unfortunately I have not yet seen a debug environment for the PIC micros that runs natively under Linux. There are native debuggers for the Atmel AVR and TI MSP430 micros.

You may have luck running the CCS IDE under Wine, the windows API. I am not sure if the USB interface will work this way, I do know the serial does. Another option is VMware, but this would run a true Windows environment from within Linux (or the other way around, your choice).
