Well, I've just installed a virtual machine with a Debian Squeeze 64 bit and 
installed libxerces-c-dev and ibxerces-c3.1

All : You don't need to provide any argument at all. ./configure will 
automagically find xerces (at least for Debian and most other popular distros)

Marco : If you want to provide the arguments, you must be aware that the --
with-xerces-lib must be followed with the linker flags and not the library 
path. So it should be :  ./configure --with-xerces=yes --with-xerces-
inc=/usr/include/ --with-xerces-lib="-lxerces-c"

Oliver : stupid question, but did you check if g++ is installed. Not 
recognizing xerces (which has a C++ API) would be a typical symtom of an 
absence of g++.

Admitedly, GDAL ./configure should error out loudly at the very moment where it 
can't find a c++ compiler...
