Hi,
Citrix Receiver is a new lightweight software client that makes accessing virtual applications and desktops on any device as easy as turning on your TV.
Much like a satellite or cable TV receiver in a broadcast media service, Citrix Receiver allows IT organizations to deliver applications as an on-demand service to any device in any location with a rich high definition experience.
As long as employees have Citrix Receiver installed, IT no longer has to worry about whether they are delivering to a PC in the office, a Mac at home, or an iPhone on the road. This approach radically simplifies desktop management for IT and gives end users far more flexibility and independence in how and where they work.
I used the following steps to install Citrix Receiver ( Client ) on my Fedora 12 box
Download the rpm file of Citrix Client ( Citrix Receiver ) at http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=3323&productId=186&c1=sot2755#top
On the shell issue the following command :-
su
< root password >
yum install openmotif
Note :- openmotif libs are required for Citrix client and they are not present in newer Fedora installations
cd < directory where the citrix RPM file was download >
rpm -ivh ICAClient-11.0-1.i386.rpm
SELinux needs to be in permissive mode or disabled.
I referred http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=221173 and executed the following commands
mv /usr/share/fonts/cjkuni/fonts.dir /usr/share/fonts/cjkuni/fonts.dir.old
mv /usr/share/fonts/cjkuni/fonts.scale /usr/share/fonts/cjkuni/fonts.scale.old
Finally from the Fedora menu I can start the Citrix receiver .. Eureka !!!!!!
