I want to say use Emacs here.  You can configure it behave like gedit if you 
really want.  Buut, I get the impression you're not willing to consider Emacs 
for whatever reason.  So, if gedit has a programmatic interface you can write 
shell script to parse the compilation errors (just look for line numbers) and 
send a command to gedit to go to the appropriate line.  I don't know if gedit 
has that capability, but certainly there may be other text editors that do.

That's too bad.  But definitely find out, the Live CD option is great.  Next 
to zero work for a perfect setup.
