Sorry for the post looks like i was just not following direction.  The 
install of Xerces-C works just fine with gdal when you follow the 
directions the the Xerces site:

http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix.html#UNIX

built gdal with:
./configure --with-xerces=/path/to/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/
