You have to install the development files for ncurses in order to use
menuconfig. The package is called libncurses5-dev. Always install the
development package when you're going to compile something.
Wish is provided by the tk package (apt-cache search tk), then you'll
have to install the Qt libraries I guess.
Hope this helps.
