Topic: How To: Citrix Receiver in Statler

I had a little trouble installing Citrix Receiver in Crunchbang, on amd64 architecture. Just in case anyone else runs into the same problems, I thought I'd report on how I got it working.
First I made sure I installed a few libraries and their dependencies. The libraries I installed (along with their dependencies) were:

libmotif4
ia32-libs
lib32stdc++6

Next I downloaded the Citrix Receiver .deb file from the Citrix website (http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downloads … ost1349860). When I tried to install it, I got an error about wrong architecture. Google provided me with feedback that a lot of people were having that problem using any Debian based amd64 system. Some of them were uninstalling libmotif4 and installing a 32 bit version from the web. Instead, I just opened a terminal and tried:

#Change to the downloads directory
cd downloads

#Force the installation (be sure to use the correct package name)
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture icaclient_11.100_i386.patched.deb

Then after exiting the terminal and opening up Chromium browser, I went to my company's website and tried to launch the Citrix client. As expected, Chromium downloaded the file 'launch.ica'. I set it to open with '/usr/lib64/ICAClient/wfica'.
After setting 'launch.ica' to open automatically, I have my Citrix Receiver working exactly as I want it to perform.
This may be extremely simple, but a few months ago, I wouldn't have known how to get it working and would have abandoned the distro. So hopefully it will help someone.

Hi ghicksrn,
yes I ran into the same problem, so I appreciate your report to get it working on my amd_64bit machine.
BTW: I did not abandone the distro, but the 64bit version of it. lol
Thx a lot, big_smile

Thanks, slowdriver. I'm always reluctant to post something like this, because I figure I'm the only one in the world that needs it. I appreciate the validation.

Re: How To: Citrix Receiver in Statler

Hi ghicksrn,
I had a little trouble installing Citrix Receiver in Crunchbang(20110207,Openbox).
I also downloaded the Citrix Receiver .deb file from the Citrix website(12.0).
I thought I had installed the Citrix Receiver,but I did not find the Citrix.
Why?
Help me!   Thank you!

Re: How To: Citrix Receiver in Statler

ok guys,

here's my story i finally made it work...hope it can help
i constantly had the message that libXm.so.4 was not found...


used a fresh CrunchBang 10 “Statler” R20111125 amd64 and last citrix receiver for 64bits OS (currently icaclient_12.0.0_amd64.deb)
+installed via synaptic.. not sure this is needed
libmotif4
ia32-libs
lib32stdc++6


dowload libmotif4 deb for i386 from debian repo and extract it
http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/libmotif4/download

then 

cd <whereithasbeenextracted>/libmotif4/usr/lib/
sudo cp libXm.so.4.0.3 /usr/lib32/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libXm.so.4.0.3 /usr/lib32/libXm.so.4

get the deb from citrix site and install it via GDebi



check the dependencies 

ldd /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfcmgr
libXm.so.4 => /usr/lib32/libXm.so.4 (0xf7493000)

should be ok as above

and then run 

/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfcmgr

it's now working like a charm!
hope i haven't forget anything...
