http://code.compeng.uni-frankfurt.de/docs/Vc-0.7/buildsystem.html says:

    Find the header file "Vc/Vc" and add its path to your include paths.
    Find the library libVc and link to it.
    Ensure you use the right compiler flags to enable the relevant SIMD 
instructions.

>From your command line I see several issues:
1. You compile C++ code with a C compiler. Use g++ and name your files .cpp.
2. only the path to libVc doesn't suffice. add -lVc or just put the full 
filepath of libVc.a on the commandline (without -l or -L)
3. add compiler flags for the SIMD instructions you want. Also add -O2 or -O3.

Cheers,
  Matthias
