It looks like you might not have xconfig.

You could try "make menuconfig" instead, but that requires libncurses-dev (IIRC) so might not work either.

I installed openSSH & was doing all of this from terminal on a mac, so it couldn't access the x windows system at all. I re-did it from the machine itself and the error went away and I was able to continue.

You can forward X11 over ssh to your MAC so you can get the gui on your MAC if you like.

I use the ssh built-in to the Mac OS (just typing "ssh -Y This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." for example.

The X11 side is handled by. XQuartz:
