I picked up xplanet from the official distribution site but I've had some problems getting the automake script to complete. The configure script is trying to run gcc -V to get the version but it isn't working and I can't seem to find the section of the configure file that issues said command. I also error out with:

checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

What is happening here? I've tried setting the CC flag to gcc2 and gcc3 but neither worked (I tried gcc as well). any hints on how to get this thing to configure properly?

Did you try the instructions here?

Ehrrmmm.. you need to have the developer tools installed. If you have, then there's something wrong with your gcc. Try "gcc -v" in your Terminal.

I did indeed follow the instructions from that exact page, I figured out my problem though. The instructions say to set CPPFLAGS to -I/sw/include and I was reading that as a lower case L. Not having the correct include path makes for gcc not working properly. Also if you type gcc -V you get the "argument missing" error which I figured was the problem originally. If you notice I did indicate the command being issued was with a capital V and not a lower case one to get the version number. It is working fine now but thanks for the responses.
