Hi Frank,
thanks for for your advice. Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I 
included your advices:

./configure --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-5.7.0 
--with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-xerces 
--with-xerces-inc=/usr/local/xerces-c-src2_2_0/include/xercesc 
--with-xerces-lib="-L/usr/local/xerces-c-src2_2_0/lib -lxerces-c 
-lpthread" --with-odbc=/usr/local/lib 
--with-static-proj4=/usr/lib/libproj.so | tee configure_disen.log

the error is: cannot find files, e.g. file xercesc/util/XercesDefs.hpp 
(which is at that location). Does gdal search only the paths given in 
the configuration or also consider environment vars?

i don't know if my paths are wrong??
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/opt/lib:/usr/local/grass-5.7.0/lib:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:
/usr/local/qt/lib:/usr/local/xerces-c-src2_2_0/lib

echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/grass-5.7.0/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:
/usr/local/qt/bin:/usr/local/xerces-c-src2_2_0/bin

 if i understand you right, you suggest to just install xerces-binaries 
at the default place and let gdal-config script look for xerces?
My problem is, there are no xerces-binaries for suse9.1 and in the 
binaries of former versions, there is no default installation path 
suggested.
if i have installed xerces as i have it now and just run the gdal-config 
script with --with-xerces the same error as described in the first mail 
occurs (conftest.cpp:1:34: util/PlatformUtils.hpp: No such file or 
directory ).

Thanks Dani
