Hi,
Without ncurses installed, you should see these messages:
echo " *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries."
echo " *** make menuconfig require the ncurses libraries"
echo " *** "
echo " *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again"
echo " *** "
Do you not see them? or do you need something different?
