There is no such thing as Carbide C++. Carbide.c++ is an IDE and yes, you can use if if you wish.
As for your problem: find a developer forum, like Forum Nokia or http://developer.symbian.org and post your question there. But with proper details, like any developer would give, such as error codes, panic codes, debug information ... "SDL_Init causes the program to exit" is how my mother would describe the problem. Could it be that you don't know even this basic trick: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Extended_panic_code ? Or never heard of debugging?
