I had a similar problem 2 days ago trying to compile and install FPC 
2.2.1 on Windows. I ran fpcmkcfg to create fpc.cfg and changed the paths 
manually to absolute ones as they were relative ones due to the exact 
error message you described.
I am not sure this is the issue in your case, but it is worth looking at.
