[ale] Q: why does not "make menuconfig" work properly? Thanks.

Ubuntu
the Kernel version 2.6.20

I'd like to build a kernel in my home folder. The kernel source code was 
installed in under the folder: /home/linux. So I downloaded "The latest 
stable version of the Linux kernel 2.6.22.1" from kernel.org.

I unzipped and save the files in folder /home/linux/linux-2.6.22.1/

I have already create a .config file in the folder by command "make 
config":
/home/linux/linux-2.6.22.1/
but when I use make menuconfig, I got following message:
"

I guess I don't have Ncurses Library, so I install all Ncurses packages 
under the synaptic package manager, which are Ncurses-base, Ncurses-bin, 
Ncurses-hextext, Ncurses-term, the result is still the same. What's wrong?

Thank you!
