Citrix: Installing Citrix Receiver 11.100 on Ubuntu(Older versions)

Installing Citrix Receiver 11.100 on Ubuntu
Prerequisites
Citrix Receiver for Linux v11.100 requires OpenMotif v2.3.1 or greater to use the Graphical User Interface (Custom ICA Connections and PNAgent).
OpenMotiv 2.3.1 is not available as a Ubuntu (Debian) Package at the time of this writing. The current version available using the APT package manager is 2.2.3-4.
The first step in this configuration is to install OpenMotif 2.3.1.
Download OpenMotif 2.3.1. You can find this in the download section of motifzone.net. http://www.motifzone.net/filebrowser/openmotif/2.3/2.3.1
You can install OpenMotif 2.3.x by converting the RPM pack to DEB using Alien. Alien is a program that converts between Red Hat RPM, Debian DEB, Stampede SLP, Slackware TGZ, and Solaris PKG formats. The first method described in this article will convert the RPM package to a DEB package.
1. Install OpenMotif 2.3.1.
2. Convert RPM to DEB:
a. Download the RPM package from the website.
http://www.motifzone.net/files/public_downloads/openmotif/2.3/2.3.3/openmotif-2.3.3-1.el5.3.i386.rpm
b. Install Alien if not already installed:
sudo apt-get install alien
c. Convert RPM to DEB:
sudo alien –d openmotif-2.3.3-1.el5.3.i386.rpm
d. Install the DEB Package:
sudo dpkg –i openmotif-2.3.3-2_i386.db
3. Install using Ubuntu/Debian package:
You can still technically install libmotif3 using the Ubuntu/Debian package manager and create a symbolic link to the required libraries.
sudo apt-get install libmotif3
sudo ln –s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3.0.2 /usr/lib/libXm.so.4
4. Install the ICA Client.
Download the Receiver from the Citrix website at:
http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=3323&productId=186&c1=sot2755

There are two ways to install: from the DEB package or from source.

Install from DEB package:
dpkg –i ica_client_11.10000_i386.patched.deb

Accept the EULA. Citrix Receiver is now available from the Application Menu under Internet or can be launched from the terminal window: /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr

Install from source:
a. Download the tar.gz file from the Downloads section of the Citrix website.
http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=3323&productId=186&c1=sot2755#top

b. Extract the files:
tar –xzvf linuxx86-11.10000-158406.tar.gz
