Where can i get it.

Which Distro of Linux are u using, Accordingly you will need to install the SDL development package for that platform,
You seem to be working with the sound library of SDL, on Ubuntu the package that you need to install would be libsdl-sound1.2-dev

I am using ubuntu hardy.

But i am trying to compiling this code with my windows[Borland c compliler]

in ubuntu when i tried with gcc i got the following

raj@raj-desktop:~$ gcc /home/raj/c/SDL_PlayMusic.c/tmp/cc7kWhSf.o: In function `main':

Any help please

In your Hardy just hit

sudo apt-get install libsdl-sound1.2-dev

in your terminal, and try compiling your code.
Also in case the problem does not get solved, hit the following command in your terminal

apt-cache search libsdl

This will give you a list of packages associated with SDL and their description,
However from your code I feel the libsdl-sound1.2-dev package should do the job, in case it doesn't you will have to go thru the package list in the output of the second command and install the one you feel is needed by ur program.

please how do i know if the SDL_mixer is currently installed on my system?

inti@administrator-desktop:~/Desktop$ gcc -o m m.c `sdl-config --cflags --libs` -lsdl_mixer
m.c:3:23: error: SDL_mixer.h: No such file or directory

inti@administrator-desktop:~/Desktop$
I got this errors message while trying to run my code.
Could anyone help tell me why?
