Citrix client install for Ubuntu
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:

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 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.
Hi, that download link doesn’t work anymore. Could you please send ma that file or redirect me to some valid site?
