Hi,
What version are you using? The problem is with the newt library.
Something to do with making ncurses apps look graphical, or something. I
build the installation media for 7.3 with the newt from 7.2 to get around
the problem. Pleas download the latest isos at:
ftp://speakup-linux.org/pub/speakup/disks/redhat/7.3/
HTH.
