Citrix Client on PCLinuxOS Updated.

Citrix is the dominant player in in application and desktop virtualization.
The latest Citrix Client is Version 10.6 and they have rpm and tarball available for installing the client on Linux Systems.

I downloaded the rpm ICAClient-10.6-1.i386.rpm and tried to install it using

rpm -i ICAClient-10.6-1.i386.rpm

I got the error that libXm.so.3 is a dependency and is missing. Now this is a normal error with ICACLient and Citrix users know that libXm.so is installed as a dependency of libopenmotif.
I fired Synaptic and installed libopenmotif only to find that the motif library version ( and its dependency) has revised and now the library is libXm.so.4 instead of the required libXm.so.3.

Not sure if we can install libXm.so.3 through Synaptic, so searched for it and found a downloadable version at
http://filer-1.filearena.net/pub/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2007/RPMS.extra/.

After that things were as easy as

rpm -i libopenmotif3-2.2.3-1pclos2007.i586.rpm
and
rpm -i ICAClient-10.6-1.i386.rpm


Hope this helps the readers.

I really like your article. Thank you so much for your sharing with us. They are very useful to us in our reality world. I want you can share more things with us. I also want to share something about pearl bracelet. In my eyes, they are the most charming beauty to make people more elegant, such as pearl strands and pearl strand and so on.
