The instructions to do it are there on the website.  Did you read any
of them?  The instructions for RH9 are virtually identical to those for
FC1.  If you missed the link, it's

	http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-redhat-90-build.phtml

Where they list the kernel source and rpm-build/rpm-devel stuff, make
sure you have the CURRENT kernel source RPM installed along with the
latest rpm-build and rpm-devel RPMs.  Make sure you have configured
the kernel source properly (through the "make xconfig;make dep" stage).
See http://www.rhil.net/docs/kernelbuild.html if you're confused about
that bit.  Once that's done, continue with the "Download" section of
the "pptpclient" link.
