Mmm, I thought that the symbolic link was stored in memory during a session, 
but is actually stored in a file...(every day I'm learning more about this 
Linux stuff)so it doesnt get removed after restarting the computer.
Well, I remove the link, and yes, for me it also appears the "cannot find 
ltermcap" message; 

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/user/Programas/ifeffit-1.2.7/src/cmdline'
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../..     -g -O2 -c iff_shell.c

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: 
cannot find -ltermcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 

So the script itself appears to fail without the symbolic link. 

Please, dont think I know much about Linux commands, because like anyone 
starting with something new, I dont. Therefore anything that for you may 
appear as obvious is not necessarily obvius for me.
Besides that, please forgive my lack of experience on this, I'm willing to 
give any feedback testing new scripts or anything else needed for better 
understanding of the problem.
