I’ve had to install Citrix on Linux several times, and there were too many things to remember. Here’s a concise list for Ubuntu:
Adapted from:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-85398.html
sudo apt-get install libxaw6 libmotif3
sudo ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
sudo apt-get install alien
from a browser, download rpm version at:
http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downloads/details.asp?dID=2755&downloadID=3323#top
(choose Save to disk)
cd to the download location:
cd Desktop
sudo alien ICAClient-9.0-1.i386.rpm
sudo dpkg -i icaclient_9.0-2_i386.deb
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

[...] I have found this extremely interesting HOW-TO install the Citrix ICA Client on Kubuntu. I followed these steps to the “T” and it works great on Edgy. Also, credit where credit is due, I found this information here. [...]

I am wondering if you can please help me…I followed all of the steps above but on the last step I got the following error…
demo@demo-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/npica.so
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/npica.so’: No such file or directory
demo@demo-laptop:~/Desktop$
This is a WUBI install of Edubuntu. Thank you.

Hi — I’ve followed the instructions above, and got the same error as bharper above, but I’m guessing that that isn’t really a problem?
My main problem is that when I try to logon to the Citrix Server, I get the following error message in a dialog at the top of the screen:
Client Configuration Manager: Could not find the file named (/usr/lib/ICAClient/config/module.ini).
Please check your installation, or contact your administrator.
The file indeed does not exist, but the directory that it should be in does.
When I followed the instructions, I varied from them in that I already had libxaw7, so didn’t install libxaw6 as it didn’t appear in the list in synaptic. Also the /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 seemed to be in place, but the original file that you link to wasn’t (not even the directory), so I left it alone.
Would you be able to advise me further as to where I may find information to fix this?
Thanks, Doug.

I had the same problem recently with Karmic.
I’m not sure why the problem exists, but here’s how to fix it:
Go to citrix’s website and download their tar.gz file
http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=3323&productId=186&c1=sot2755
Open up the archive, and find the module.ini file under /nls/en
Then just
sudo cp module.ini /usr/lib/ICAClient/config/module.ini
I don’t know if Citrix left that file out of their RPM, or if alien loses it during the conversion.
