       Did you follow instructions? Install wine1.3, then go to wine config, click about and see 1.4 there. I thought at first it’s a mistake by Zinoune, but looks like not :)

  • tibor strausz

    sudo apt-get install wine1.3is that for 1.4??
     or should that be:
    sudo apt-get install wine1.4

    • Jee

      I got this during the installation:+————————-(…)Setting up wine1.3-gecko (1.4.0+2~ppa1) …Setting up lib32nss-mdns (0.10-3.1ubuntu1) …Setting up wine1.4 (1.4-0ubuntu1~ppa2~oneiric3) …procps stop/waiting

Just delete the space after the slash (/) it will work.

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!
