Doing the Work

In order to install Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Client on Fedora 8, you must obtain, not install, the package named openmotif-2.3.0-0.1.9.3.i386.rpm. That package can be found by searching rpm databases such as www.rpmfind.net or simply by going to http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/

Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Client can be downloaded at http://www.citrix.com/English/SS/downloads/details.asp?dID=2755&downloadID=3323&pID=186

*Do NOT install the openmotif package!

  1. Upon downloading both packages, switch to the /tmp folder:
    2. cd /tmp/
  2. Extract the contents of the openmotif rpm package in the /tmp folder:
    3. su -c 'rpm2cpio openmotif-2.3.0-0.1.9.3.i386.rpm | cpio -ivd'
  3. Copy the required extracted file to the library folder: 
    su -c 'cp ./usr/lib/libXm.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib'
  4. Next, you must create the required symbolic links by issuing the following two commands: 
    su -c 'ln -s libXm.so.4.0.0 libXm.so.4' 
    su -c 'ln -s libXm.so.4.0.0 libXm.so.3'
  5. Install the Citrix MetaFrame Client by issuing the following command: 
    su -c 'rpm -ivh ICAClient-10.6-1.i386.rpm --nodeps'

Troubleshooting

Certification Error after successful installation

Once Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Client has been successfully installed, you may run into a certification error and it can be remedied by obtaining the correct certifications and copying them to the proper folder.
  1. Obtain the certifications by going to http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/index.asp
  2. Copy the correct .cer file to /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
    3. cp ./Download/*.cer /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
