Daniel,

I tried this out and found I had to do things a bit differently:

   ./configure --with-xerces --with-xerces-inc=/u/pkg/xerces-c-src2_2_0/include/xercesc 
--with-xerces-lib="-L/u/pkg/xerces-c-src2_2_0/lib -lxerces-c -lpthread"

Note:
  o the include directory is <base>/include/xercesc, not just <base>/include.
  o The lib directive needs to include the library (-lxerces-c) as well as the
    path and pthread.

With this it worked for me.  In general though I find it much easier to just
"make install" xerces and use --with-xerces alone to find the library.

Best regards,
