HOWTO: Install Citrix ICA Client on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit

First off, go ahead and install some libraries:

sudo apt-get install libxaw7 libmotif3

Go to http://www.citrix.com , click on “Downloads”, then click on “Citrix XenApp”, then select Linux clients. Download the tarball for Motif in your preferred language. Place it on your Desktop, and open a terminal.

cd ~/Desktop
mkdir citrix && mv ./en.linuxx86.tar.gz ./citrix && cd ./citrix
tar xvzf en.linuxx86.tar.gz

sudo ./setupwfc

The install prompts should accept default input.

Now we’re going to need to go grab a 32-bit copy of libmotif3. Click here and select a mirror. Download the file to your Desktop.

Open up a terminal again, we’re going to pluck out the 32-bit motif libraries that we need.
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir motif
mv libmotif* ./motif/ && cd ./motif
ar -x ./libmotif*
tar xvzf data.tar.gz
cd ./usr/lib/
cp * /usr/lib32/

Now go on and run wfcmgr!

    Nice post; trying to install the current version with 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) the setwpc script fails with “echo_cmd” not found. I don’t suppose you’ve got updated instructions floating about, do you? :>
