Installing Citrix Client on a Debian Linux Distro

=================================================

NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS ARE ALL BEING CALLED

AS ROOT (SUPERUSER/SU/SUDO)



1. Download Citrix 9.0 client for Linux (RPM version):

http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downloads/details.asp?dID=2755&downloadID=3323#top



Ensure that the permissions on this file are executable.



2. Install addtional libraries (You may already have these dependancies):

apt-get install libxaw6 libmotif3



3. Link libXm.so.3 so wfcmgr.bin can see it (bug in Citrix client - may not be necessary):

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3



4. Convert .rpm to .deb using alien command:

sudo alien ICAClient-9.0-1.i386.rpm



5. Install newly created icaclient_9.0-2_i386.deb file:

sudo dpkg -i icaclient_9.0-2_i386.deb

6. Copy over plugins for Firefox/Mozilla:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npica.so

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/npica.so 



7. If using firefox, try opening the aspx launcher. If firefox does not know how to handle

this filetype, navigate to the following:



/usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica.sh



...and get firefox to use this script in future by checking the remember settings option in the open dialog.



8. Use your regular Novell login to access the system
