gcc --version

  should tell you the version

That's what you usually put into the config file.

That is, where you quoted:

# Whenever this version string changes, the application is configured                               
# and rebuilt from scratch                                                                          
VERSION = 2012-04-11                                                                                
                                                                                                    
CPP = cpp                                                                                           
FPP = cpp                                                                                           
CC  = gcc                                                                                           
CXX = g++                                                                                           
#F77 = gfortran                                                                                     
#F90 = gfortran                                                                                     
F77 = gfortran-4.6                                                                                  
F90 = gfortran-4.6 

If you change something there, and especially if you just start out, it
is safest to delete configs/YOURSPECIFIEDNAME before a retry. (Where
YOURSPECIFIEDNAME is 'sim' be default if you used simfactory).
