Either uninstall openmotif-devel using

rpm -e openmotif-devel

if you know that openmotif-devel is not required for something else or use --replacefiles as a rpm option

rpm -Uvh --replacefiles lesstif-0.93.49-1.i386.rpm

Have a look at the rpm manpage to see if '--replacefiles' is the correct option to use for file conflicts.

I doubt you need openmotif-devel unless you are planning to build/compile openmotif related apps.

Try testing the uninstall.

rpm -e --test openmotif-devel

and if no errors,

rpm -e openmotif-devel
