That package has been abandoned more than two years ago, because it depends on outdated other software (qt3).

I just got word from the programmer: It is designed to compile with both Qt3 and Qt4, as long as you have the Qt3 support library. Download the tar.gz-package from this page.
Extract it.
What you'd need to do in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libqt4-qt3support g++
 cd path-to-the-extracted-folder (Go to the biblememorizer-0.6.4 directory from the source code download)
./configure make
sudo make install

The app will then show up in the usual places. If it gives plugin errors, you may need to change the plugin directory in Settings to /usr/lib/biblememorizer/plugins and pick the "English language book names" plugin. (The Sword plugin seems to cause a crash on my machine.)
