Situation:

Procedure:

Download the current package 'pcmcia_m-3.1.16-3.i386.rpm' (including modules) from our ftp server:

Unload the old package with:

rpm -e pcmcia

libforms.so.0.88 is needed by pcmcia-3.1.16-0
the package 'xforms', series 'd', must be previously installed

or use instead the following command for the installation:
