Since I finished my last SAP contract, I no longer have a vaild login to  a SAP 
system in order to test this. However you can down the Citrix tarball from 

<http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downloads/details.asp?dID=2755&downloadID=3323#top>

which at least will test the dynamic linkages with lesstif.

Unfortunately the Citrix stuff is binary only.
