Make menuconfig, 2.2.18 and Debian woody.

[David Fisher <david@colossus.apana.org.au>]

I downloaded the new 2.2.18 kernel, the first to be released since my conversion to Debian and proceeded to attempt my first kernel compile on 
my woody box.

After untarring i get
colossus:/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/linux-2.2.18/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE  -DCURSES_LOC="<curses.h>"   -c -o lxdialog.o lxdialog.c
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/linux-2.2.18/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
colossus:/usr/src/linux# 

What have I done wrong?

What package have I left out?

All advice welcome.
