    Thank you for posting this, but the installation lines do not work for Linux Mint. It puts the name of your Mint-version somewhere in the lines of your software-sources. And it shouldn’t do that. So, after running these lines until the update one, open your software-sources and change the name of your Mint-distribution in the Ubuntu-one. In my case, had to change from Katya to Natty. And then it works like a charm.

I tried it and it works with a regular zip file, but if you password-protect the .zip file it does NOT work.

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
