FAQ: How to install a Window Manager?

1) Get the RPM that is specifically made for RH 9 which will install the
   binaries and patch the necessary scripts, so you don't have to do
   anything. Check: http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html.

2) Unfortunately, the RPM doesn't exist for all. So install from source
   and follow the posts lead by the message ID's.

   Put the message-id in that column from this link to get the post:
