Problems whent I want update kernel

[Yair De la cruz]

Hi guys
I have a problem whent I want update my kernel, I've a server Ubuntu 16.04
it has kernel 4.4.0.62-generic, and I want install Kernel 4.7.2.
For install a new kernel I need the packages libncurses5, well, whent I did
apt-get install libncurses5
it says this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libncurses5 is already the newest version (6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

Now, whent I run make meniucofig the output is:
user at ubuntu:~/linux-4.7.2$ make menuconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/mconf.o
In file included from scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:23:0:
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:38:20: fatal error: curses.h: No such
file or directory
compilation terminated.
scripts/Makefile.host:108: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/mconf.o'
failed
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/mconf.o] Error 1
Makefile:544: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
