I know nothing about the glibc2.1 or Suse things. However, what I
would try to do is
rpm -e xforms
to remove the old xforms installation, and then
rpm -i xforms-0.88-2.i386.rpm
to install the new one. The problem is that, since the version numbers
of the rpms clash, the rpm tool might decide that update is not
necessary.
As far as version is concerned, you can use
rpm -qi xforms
to see the date of packaging of the different rpms.
Hope this helps.
