Perhaps you have it installed in different location than:

/usr with /usr/include/xercesc
or
/usr/local with /usr/local/include/xercesc

You can try this:

./configure --with-xerces=yes \
   --with-xerces-inc=/path/to/headers \
   --with-xerces-lib="-L/path/to/libs -lxerces-c -lpthread"


For example, I have installed Xerces under

/usr/local/xerces-2.8.0
with
/usr/local/xerces-2.8.0/include
/usr/local/xerces-2.8.0/lib

so I configure it this way:

./configure --with-xerces=yes \
   --with-xerces-inc=/usr/local/xerces-2.8.0/include \
   --with-xerces-lib="-L/usr/local/xerces-2.8.0/lib -lxerces-c -lpthread"
