Probly, but before you go with a tarball, try to find a Mandrake
src.rpm. I just looked an found one for 9.2, so they must exist.
Try an find one closest to version 9.0 and, as root
rpm --rebuild bibletime-1.2.2-2mdk.src.rpm
(that's the 9.2 cooker version, it probly won't work)
If that doesn't work out for you, then you'll need to learn about
compiling from source tarballs. Start here, read all 3 pages
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/basics/bsource.html
Hint, when you believe you're ready to compile, use
./configure --prefix=/usr rather than just plain ./configure
That'll put the binaries created in directories normally used by
Mandrake. Otherwise the program will probly put 'em in /usr/local
You'll probly have more questions after readin mandrakeuser, so
holler back ;)
