[Solved] Citrix Receiver and multilib?

Hello,

I just installed Arch Linux on one of the partitions on my laptop one week ago.  Now I need to install Citrix Receiver.

Initially I found this wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Citrix.  However, it states that the article is outdated.

Then, I downloaded linuxx64-13.1.0.285639.tar.gz from this Citrix webpage: http://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix- … x-131.html .  I followed the installation instructions here: http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topi … 1428054504, about the installation for linux from a tarball package.

However, after I sent the command ./setupwfc, I got a mesage saying "Install libc-i386 package (or equivalent) and then retry".

Does it mean that I have to follow the steps as mentioned on these two webpages and install some 160 packages from the repository: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/64-bit_FAQ and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib ?  Or, only fewer packages are required?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Solved] Citrix Receiver and multilib?

Installing citrix receiver in 32bit arch is very easy , in 64bit version it is PITA , we have to compel Citrix to create a 64bit package, as mentioned in the Wiki for manual install , install all these 32bit libs and then try to launch setup and if it asks for anything more install that too,once installed lauch wfica.sh from command line , it will give error if any dependency is missing so you have to install that too.

Step 0. 64-bit Arch systems only - install 32-bit libs:
from Arch repositories: openmotif, lib32-libxmu, printproto, nspluginwrapper, lib32-alsa-lib, lib32-gcc-libs, lib32-libxft, lib32-gtk2, lib32-libxdamage, lib32-libpng12. From AUR: lib32-libxp, lib32-libxpm, lib32-libxaw, lib32-openmotif

Thanks aja.

I set up this just now.  For anyone who may need to go through the process and for my own record, here are the steps that I took.

Firstly, enable the multilib repository by uncommenting the [multilib] section in /etc/pacman.conf as mentioned on this wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib.  Then update the package list and upgrade with pacman -Syu.

Follow mostly the steps under "Manual Install" on this wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Citrix.  On Step 0, the package lib32-libpng12 is no longer in the official repository.  I skipped it and also the four AUR packages (lib32-libxp, lib32-libxpm, lib32-libxaw, lib32-openmotif).  No issue so far.
