Take a look at:

There are entries there for your yum.conf. RedHat is no longer 
supporting RH9, so you might want to think about moving to Fedora Core.

If you can't find an rpm, you can get checkinstall and create your own 
rpm from a .tar file. Install checkinstall, untar your package, do the 
./configure and 'make', and instead of doing a 'make install', run 
checkinstall and it will create and install the rpm for you.
