I don't think so but I have not written any program in Vala.

The error probably means that the C compiler doesn't get the right 
directory in its include paths. These paths are given to the C compiler 
on the command line with -I option.

All the magic of autotools is used to generated Makefile so you can 
check in them to see if all options are present.

I remember that there is an issue in Vala is your build directory is not 
the same that the source directory. I don't know if it is still true but 
if it is your case you should try to select the project directory in the 
Build->Configure Project->Build directory.
