Can not query from v$instance and v$session from within Pro*C program

Question

Hi there,
We have Oracle 10.2.0.1 enterprise edition running on Linux (Red Hat 4 ES)
Our Pro*C developer tries to query the version from v$instance view and is getting errors when compiling his Pro*C programs.
The related Oracle user account has the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege, so if he tries from the sqlplus, he has no problem querying the v$instance or v$session views. His problem is when he is trying to compile his Pro*C program against the very same Oracle account.
Any help/input is greatly appreciated.

Here are the errors he is getting:

Answer 1

I issued FULL DB EXPORT / IMPORT privilege to the related Oracle user account and it works now.
