To me six months from now: How to get Citrix running on Debian Sid AMD64

This is now the third time that I’ve had to research how to get working so it’s time for a post. This should probably work for Ubuntu systems as well.

Go to the Citrix Site and download the file called:
linuxx86-11.0.140395.tar.gz (or greater).

This is a tarbomb so I advise creating a new directory and extract it there. Then run the setup script ./setupwfc

mkdir citrix
mv /tmp/linuxx86-11.0.140395.tar.gz citrix/
cd citrix
tar xzvf linuxx86-11.0.140395.tar.gz
./setupwfc

Now the two extra things you’ll need to do.

First install the package ia32-libs package which is “ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems”.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Next you need to copy the firefox/iceweasel/whatever certs

cp -v /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

Of course when I need this next I’ll have forgotten all about this post.

EDIT: I updated to Kubuntu 10.05 and I came across the error related to /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. A quick print of the shared library dependencies and we see that libXm.so.4 is not found.

        libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xf7429000)

I tried installing libmotif3 (apt-get install libmotif3) as suggested here but then I got the error wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64. I know from experience that this is due to running a 32bit application on a 64bit os. After some searching I came across this post which recommended downloading a 32 bit version of libmotif3 for the i386 platform, forcing the install and creating a link from version 3 to version 4.

dpkg -i --force-architecture libmotif*i386.deb
ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib32/libXm.so.4

This fixed the problem for me. By the way the binary you need to point your browser to is /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica
