Kernelnewbies Digest, Vol 45, Issue 1

To run menuconfig programme you need "ncurses" package, which is not
installed on your system
That is the reason of your first problem.
Now, your ubuntu version, looks like obsolete (i believe you installed it
long time before)and is no longer supported anymore.

If you update your ubuntu version, i guess you would be able to install
ncurses and would be able to build (make menuconfig wont fail).

Hope it would help.
