which linux program are you trying to install.. some programs are not yet ported or not compatible to n900, if you want to install debian packages better install easy debian from app manager and use it to browse and install debian apps

There is no such "Linux program" as there is no such "Windows program" (win95 won't run on windows xp or windows mobile).
Hence the answer is probably: "You cannot if the program is not specifically compiled for the ARM hardware platform and for the Maemo software platform".

Or define "some program" first here and be exact (name, URL to download) - otherwise we can all just guess...
