I had the same problem. It worked just fine under an old slackware install, but after I upgraded some of my system to elf using packages from RedHat 3.0.3 menuconfig no longer worked. The problem is that lxdialog was using <ncurses.h> which came from the old slackware and not <ncurses/curses.h> which is what came with the RedHat ncurses package.
Delete /usr/include/ncurses.h and make it a link to /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h and everything should work.
