you have to be more specific.
1) which ncurses do you have?

grundler <513>ls -l /usr/lib/*curses*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 May 12  2002 /usr/lib/libcurses.a -> libncurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 May 12  2002 /usr/lib/libcurses.so -> libncurses.so
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       140674 May  9  2002 /usr/lib/libncurses++.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       510692 May  9  2002 /usr/lib/libncurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 May 12  2002 /usr/lib/libncurses.so -> /lib/libncurses.so.5


2) what is "make menuconfig" complaining about?

   Please provide the exact error output.

FWIW, it works for me.
