Howto: Citrix ICA Client in Ubuntu

Unfortunately, Ubuntu only provide the obsolete libmotif3 version and the not the current version 4 that the receiver is built against. The easiest solution is to install libmotif3 and then make a link to it. Which will make the version 3 library appear as the version 4 one. Not ideal but it seems to work.





Download the client:

http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=3323&productId=186&c1=sot2755

Unpack the tar.gz:

tar xfvz linuxx86-11.0.140395.tar.gz

Execute the install script:

sudo ./setupwfc

Accept the default options (or whatever seems most appropriate)


Install libmotif3

sudo apt-get install libmotif3

Created symlink

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3.0.2 /usr/lib/libXm.so.4

Applications -> Internet -> Citrix Receiver = Working fine!


If you still have problems run ldd to check for dependecy issues:

ldd /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr

It should look like this:

ldd /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr
linux-gate.so.1 = (0xb7f80000)
libXm.so.4 = /usr/lib/libXm.so.4 (0xb7d31000)

libICE.so.6 = /usr/lib/libICE.so.6 (0xb7cf8000)

libXext.so.6 = /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7a30000)
libXau.so.6 = /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb7a2d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f81000)
libxcb-xlib.so.0 = /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0xb7a2b000)
