I have used Grip downloaded at freshrpms.net successfully on RH9
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/grip/grip-3.0.7-fr1.i386.rpm

If you first download and install the apt rpm
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/apt/apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr2.i386.rpm

and the synaptic rpm
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/synaptic/synaptic-0.36.1-fr1.i386.rpm

Then you can use synaptic to download and install apps from freshrpms
and it will take care of dependencies for you.

OTOH, if you're new to Linux and want to learn how things work under the
hood, learn how to use rpm and track down dependencies on your own.

I presume others will have input to offer on this as well which may
conflict with what I just suggested..

Caveat emptor, YMMV, etc. etc..
