Can't "make menuconfig"

[Kent West <westk@acu.edu>]

I can "make config" and "make xconfig" but I can not "make menuconfig".
When I try, I get the following:

westk03:/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-2.2.1/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -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-2.2.1/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
westk03:/usr/src/linux# exit
exit


Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks!
