Are you in the directory where you have the full linux kernel source when
you do that (usually /usr/src/linux) ? Do you _have_ the full kernel
source on your machine?

Menuconfig etc. are not programs or even files. They are make _targets_.
Try typing "man make" and read the DESCRIPTION chapter, it isn't long.
That should give you an overview of what make does. Now, by running "make
menuconfig" you select the "menuconfig" target in the kernel main Makefile
that is supposed to first compile the menu dialog program and then run it.
If make fails with "no rule to make target" you have done some fundamental
mistake in getting and unpacking the kernel source code; you are in the
wrong directory or the Makefile is somehow corrupted.
