Do one of the following:
1. Build it from source and install it with 'checkinstall' instead of
'make install'.  This will make an RPM, which you can rpm -Uvh.
2. Download the cooker SRPM.  Rebuild it with rpm --rebuild.  If it
works, install the rpm. (it will be in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS)
3. Request it on www.mandrakeclub.com.  Someone will do the work for
you.  You need to be a member to request it, but not to download it.
4. Check rogue RPM sites like Texstar's (www.pclinuxonline.com) or
Thac's (http://rpm.nyvalls.se/).  They rebuild new stuff for 9.2.  Keep
in mind, if these eat your hard drive and spit it out at you, it's your
own fault.  ;-)

If none of the above work, I could just email you the RPM.  ;-)
