ORA-04031 while creating index

Question

Hi,
I am creating a schema using IMP utility.
The import log is showing error (during index creation)
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 2064 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","unknown object","sga heap","multiblock rea")
This is a Oracle 8 (8.1.7.4.0) database. Exports were taken from Oracle 7 and are being imported into Oracle 8.
Please guide me. I have never worked in such older versions. Below are some details
