tl;dr - It looks like the uploader package needs an update for linux, as it is currently failing on a 64bit linux install.
Just remember that PlatformIO has support for the MSP430s also, so dug my MSGP-ESP430G2 launchpad out, and tried to program a 2553 series chip with a simple blink sketch. The toolchain installed fine, compiled fine, and failed to upload with a
error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I then tried installing Energia (the Energia 1.8.7E21 (10/17/2018) release), and it worked fine out of the box. I noticed that the uploader, mspdebug had changed version though, from 0.22 to 0.24, so deleted the tool from .platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug/and copied just the mspdebug binary into it's place, and it's working fine now.
