On Fedora 18, Google Earth RPM (google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm) installation fails because it conflicts with package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64. The reason is "/usr/bin" that is set inside the Google Earth package.
Using
Edit: Tried with google-earth-stable-7.0.2.8415-0.x86_64. It still clashes with the filesystem package. Forcing installation succeeds but then again Google Earth crashes on start. The reported issue has been updated with the error log.
Using
rpm -U --forcesolves this problem. Then, if you get "/lib/ld-lsb.so.3: bad ELF interpreter", this means that 32-bit libraries are missing. Install them with
yum install redhat-lsb.i686 redhat-lsb-graphics.i686 redhat-lsb-printing.i686However, after this Google Earth crashes. The issue has been reported here.

There is no redhat-lsb-graphics in the repos... o.O
GoogleEarthLinux.bin does work. Installed suggested 32bit files first.
Debroystn.
Thanks for the tip. The RPM should be coming soon. In the meantime this should do it (not tried yet, though):

Open terminal, execute the following commands and get googleearth working in your fedora distro. Have fun!
yum install redhat-lsb.i686 redhat-lsb-graphics.i686 redhat-lsb-printing.i686
su -c 'yum -y install wget glibc ImageMagick desktop-file-utils shared-mime-info'
wget -c http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin
sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
