Short answer: emerge ncurses.

The ncurses package is used to control the texbased configuration menusystem which is used when you do: make menuconfig.

This could also be because you don't have gcc in your path. It's been widely discussed on the forums. Make sure you have ncurses, but you will get exactly the same error if gcc isn't in your path. You might want to check out Pitfalls of using GCC - 3.2.1-r6.

Can you post the output of "which gcc"? Perhaps your PATH is not being set up correctly. Lots of info in Pitfalls of using GCC - 3.2.1-r6.
