You can't be more verbose for this. The problem is most likely that the tool
cannot execute the compiler (because it does not find it). 

It tries to capture the output of fpc -iVTPTO, and it expects to receive 3 words. 
If it does not, the error you get is displayed.

The error is in pkgoptions.pas, the function to read the output is in pkgglobals
pkgglobals.pp: GetCompilerInfo; The best is to see what goes wrong there...
