I seem to remember either the early RH 7.x series or 6.x series did not necessarily install ncurses by default, thus make menuconfig did not run. If you did a very slim install, you may not have the right libraries to do what you need. Do an 'rpm -q ncurses ncurses-devel' and see what you get. If either is not found, make menuconfig will not run.
