Bibean tutorial olap connection gives ora 942

Question

Hi,
I'm working my way through the bibean tutorial.
I have not made much progress.
I'm stuck at the point where I create the BI Designer via wizard.
I'm seeing this error:
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oracle.express.ExpressServerExceptionError class: OLAPI

I used 'oemapp console' to look at my OLAP install.
It shows cubes and dimensions owned by BIBDEMO so I see some hope.
Here is info about my current setup:
Linux localhost 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.3.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.3.0 - Production
Jdeveloper 9.0.3.1 build 1107
java version "1.4.1_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_03-b02, mixed mode)
Any of you have any clues for me?
Is it possible for me to connect to OLAP via sqlplus or pl/sql
so I can eliminate Jdeveloper, JDBC, and Java as suspects?

hiAgain,
I made progress today by installing 9.2.0.1 general purpose DB and then upgrading it to 9.2.0.3.
Along the way I bumped into a bug with the DB:
20:47:04 SQL> alter user bibcat identified by bibcat default tablespace users;
alter user bibcat identified by bibcat default tablespace users
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of LBACSYS.LBAC_EVENTS
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512: at line 2
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512: at line 2
google told me this:
shutdown immediate;
startup migrate;
alter view lbacsys.lbac$all_table_policies compile;
alter package lbacsys.lbac_events compile body;
shutdown immediate;
startup;
Above commands ran okay for me.
then,
I ran rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql to recompile everything invalid.
results of this looked good too:
SELECT comp_name, status, substr(version,1,10) as version from dba_registry;
