Installing Repository Fails

Question

When I try to install the repository from a Windows2000 machine onto an 8.1.6 database on a Solaris box, I get the following message after I set the tablespaces and click start.
"You do not have SELECT privilege on sys.V_$PARAMETERS view. This process cannot proceed."
We can not even find this view on the database. Does anyone have any clue where I go from here?

Answer 1

The install guide does refer to the following grant statements. Execute them as SYS.
2.Execute the following SQL statements to avoid various potential problems:
grant execute on dbms_lock to repos_owner;
grant execute on dbms_pipe to repos_owner;
grant create table to repos_owner;
grant create view to repos_owner;
grant create procedure to repos_owner;
grant create synonym to repos_owner;
grant create sequence to repos_owner;
grant select on sys.v_$nls_parameters to repos_owner with grant option;
grant select on sys.v_$parameter to repos_owner;
grant select on dba_rollback_segs to repos_owner;
grant select on dba_segments to repos_owner;
grant create any synonym to repos_owner;
grant drop any synonym to repos_owner;
where repos_owner is the username of the repository owner
