Thank you both for replying -- what you both suggested seems right. It seems this is an ncurses related issue. I had tried to install ncurses-1.9.9e before I had all these problems.
This is what I did which seems to fix it; first: mv /usr/include/ncurses /usr/include/ncurses-old Then in the source for ncurses-1.9.9e, I used: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-normal --with-debug --enable-overwrite --with-shared (before make && su -c make install)
Lo, it didn't recreate the /usr/include/ncurses directory, but did put the following header files into /usr/include itself: curses.h termcap.h term.h unctrl.h panel.h menu.h eti.h form.h.
``make menuconfig'' then worked.
And yes, I tried "make distclean" in the Linux source directory many times before while attempting to solve this problem.
