help wanted for kernel install

[jpjevans@earthlink.net]

Hi, folks

	I want to update my kernel (2.0.34) to 2.0.36. I've already
	upgraded the rest of my system slink, so today I used apt-get to
	install the new kernel-source.

	When I switched to the /usr/src/linux directory, I found it was
	still pointing to kernel-source-2.0.34. I also found that the
	2.0.36 stuff had not been unpacked. It still existed as a
	.tar.gz file, so I used gzip and tar to unroll it. Now I have a
	kernel-source-2.0.36 directory but /usr/src/linux was still
	pointing to 2.0.34. I rm'd the linux* links and created one
	pointing to 2.0.36. My /usr/src now looks like this:

debian:/usr/src# l
total 29991
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         1024 Oct 13 13:54 kernel-headers-2.0.32
drwxr-xr-x  16 root     root         1024 Jan  9 14:11 kernel-source-2.0.34
drwxr-xr-x  15 root     root         1024 Jan  9 14:12 kernel-source-2.0.36
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     30586880 Nov 27 23:58 kernel-source-2.0.36.tar
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     src            20 Jan  9 14:23 linux -> kernel-source-2.0.36

	Ok, now I cd to linux and I'm in 2.0.36. This seems right to me,
	 but I must still missing something, because make menuconfig 	
	 produces the following errors:

  	 debian:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.36/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -O2 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE  -DCURSES_LOC="<curses.h>"   -c lxdialog.c -o lxdialog.o
In file included from lxdialog.c:22:
dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.36/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

	So, what's happing? Why didn't apt-get install unroll everything
	and set it up properly? Have I got myself hopelessly screwed up?
	And, how can I get things set up so that I may get on with this?

	TIA!!  :-)
