Its looking for .config file inside the kernel source.
/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/build/.config
1) check that /build is a symlink to /usr/src/kernel-path-source
2) IF there is something like /proc/config , copy it to
/usr/src/kernel-path-source/.config
IF NOT, then you could try doing a make oldconfig ....
I really dont know that the ubuntu packages includes inside, so, those
are my 2 cents...
