To overcome this error, I ran -
[root@redhat4 linux-3.8.12]# yum install ncurses-devel -y
This installed the missing packages and then re-ran menuconfig (see below):

You can verify that the new kernel is now in the grub.conf:
[root@redhat4 grub]# vim grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
# initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
