.rpm isn't actually needed. I wrote a script that extracts the contents of the .deb package and does a few other little tricks to get things working in Fedora.
The real issue is that they have only released a x86 and x86_64 version of their 3 binaries: GoogleTalkPlugin (FYI depends on libssl.so.0.9.8 and libcrypto.so.0.9.8), libnpgoogletalk.so (voice) and libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so (hardware acceleration + video). No ARM support for now...
Testers wanted (desktop Linux only, x86 & x86_64)
http://www.box.net/shared/9dz9rsh7l7
download, chmod +x, run script as root, follow instructions. Requires glew package (non-dev), get that from your distro's repo.
I need to do more testing and improve the script. I'm currently trying to figure out a better detection for the browser's library plugin path, since it varies widely among different distros. For instance the Gentoo ebuild of firefox requires the plugins to either be in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins (which I had to create) or ~/.mozilla/plugins/ (which is far from optimal). Fedora 12 requires the plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/ for instance.

You can now make free phone calls to landline and cell phones using GMAIL with a plugin. I was able to install the plugin for Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop (a generic .deb file I guess). It works nicely from the laptop. I know the N900 has GoogleTalk. Is there any way to do the free phone calls using the N900?

TIPS
* Test call with echo@bot.talk.google.com
* If your webcam is upside-down then try:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so browser
video-chrome and video-chrome and video-chrome have been provided as scripts for your convenience (in /usr/bin)
* If Call phone and voice chat work but video chat reports:
"A problem occured while attempting to access your graphics hardware"
Then your video driver dependencies are too old.
Try a fresh install of the latest release of your distro.

Sorry. I've been really really really sick.
Just grab the binaries: GoogleTalkPlugin, libnpgoogletalk.so and libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so and throw them in your plugins directory ex: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ . On my system Fedora 12, 32-bit it has /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/ (which is actually meant for 64-bit why I have it, IDK) and it symlinks anything I put in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/ but names them differently and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/ is first in my plugins PATH so it loads those but under the wrong name, so gmail can't find them. Which is why in that scenario you have to put them in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/
Unfortunately it just depends on the system and where you have things, I tried to make the script use it's best judgement but unfortunately there is no standard for the location. You can however delete the files that my script installed and throw them in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and THAT will hopefully do the trick. For chrome if you installed from Google's repo it should go in /opt/google/chrome/plugins/
I'll try to work on it some more when the antibiotics kick in.
In the meantime you can just download the .deb, ar it (decompresses it), then tar xzvf data.tar.gz and it'll give you a opt folder, ignore the cron bits and grab the binaries.
Make sure you install glew and have (or fake with symlinks) libssl.so.0.9.8 and libcrypto.so.0.9.8 in /usr/lib/
EDIT: In response to an email I received, I forgot to include a check from ldd in the script. Anyone that has tried this script (please bear in mind I have already received 2 bug reports and I fear I must have botched something in the script, apologies)
Please run:
This command will output any missing dependencies. Woops.

This is how I got it done in PCLinuxOS (with the help of the forum):
1. Went to the following url and then clicked the blue button to download the .deb package: http://www.google.com/chat/video
2. Extracted the archive. Ark should be able to do that from one of its right click options.
2. Extracted again the "data.tar.gz" file and three folders showed up (etc,opt,google)
3.Copied the "google" folder under "opt" to "/opt" and the contents of "usr/lib/firefox/plugins" to a plugin folder in mozilla hidden folder in your home directory. You can access the folder by typing this on your browser address bar: "~/.mozilla/plugins" (if it doesn't exist just create it).
4. Some say that they had to turn off the firewall for this to work.
5. Restarted Firefox.
(For the benefit of the newbies: This won't work on the N900 because there is no plugin that works with its processor.)
