Here's a radical thought. You could actually go into sqlplus and do a select 
from the dba_errors or user_errors view. I realize that this is will cause 
many on this list to think of me as a dinosaur, ready to be relegated to the 
old DBAs home, but come on, if you are going to call yourself a DBA you 
should be able to look things up in the database WITHOUT a GUI tool.

I'll even be nice and give you the query:

log into sqlplus as the procedure owner

select * from user_errors order by line;

here's an example:

SQL> create procedure this_is_bad
  2  as
  3    select * from dual
  4  end;
  5
  5
  5  /

Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.

SQL> select * from user_errors order by line;

NAME                                     TYPE          SEQUENCE      LINE

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SELECT" when expecting one of the 
following:

   begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use
   <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> cursor
   form current external language
The symbol "begin" was substituted for "SELECT" to continue.

THIS_IS_BAD                              PROCEDURE            2         4    
      1
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following:

   . , @ ; for <an identifier>
   <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> group having intersect
   minus order partition start subpartition union where connect
   SAMPLE_
The symbol ";" was substituted for "END" to continue.
