trouble installing Citrix
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 10:10 pm
Hello,
I am brand new to linux and don't know my way around. Basically, I am trying to ditch windows but unable to install citrix is holding me back. So exam problem is been described by this user at this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2033947
now, in the solution on that page there is a second link to the real solution:

Here's what I did to get it to install:
1. Install the .deb and let it fail
2. Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/icaclient.postinst
3. Replace the line that says echo $Arch|grep "i[0-9]86" >/dev/null with *echo $Arch|grep -E "i[0-9]86|x86_64" >/dev/null (note the -E after grep!)
4. Run dpkg --configure icaclient
so it basically came down to the fact that I was unable to follow these directions because I don't know how to use terminal or anything else in linux so a step by step direction in terminal would be a great help or some other way to install citrix on my 64 bit system so I can finally give up windows for good. Thank You
