Manual Create Database

Question

Hi,
I have a vm centos 5 on my pc. I'm currently testing on creating a database by just using the plain "create database" command base on Tom's book. But when I try to execute it I get a ORA-01092. Here's what the alert log contains:
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db10g/rdbms/log/ora10g_ora_6389.trc:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01519: error while processing file '?/rdbms/admin/sql.bsq' near line 1740
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4108 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","insert into ts$ (ts#,nThe trace file contains:
