You should be able to use any C library from Vala applications, however,
you need a VAPI file, which describes the API of the C library. For
non-GObject libraries, these VAPI files can't be generated at the
moment, so you need to write them by hand. The vapi directory in the
Vala tarballs contains many bindings, for both, GObject and non-GObject
libraries, that you can use as examples.

However, it's not possible to use C++ libraries from Vala, if they don't
provide a C API.
