Problem with creating repository

Question

I can´t create functional repository, because I can´t compile package bodies: ck_util, rmmac and jr_workarea. Problem is with parameter dbms_lock. For example when I want to compile jr_workarea, i get message:"
Line # = 287 Column # = 49 Error Text = PLS-00221: 'NL_MODE' procedure doesn´t exist or isn´t declare
Line # = 287 Column # = 49 Error Text = PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "DBMS_LOCK"."NL_MODE": wrong identificator
Line # = 287 Column # = 4 Error Text = PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Line # = 298 Column # = 16 Error Text = PLS-00201: identificator 'DBMS_LOCK' must be declared
Line # = 298 Column # = 4 Error Text = PL/SQL: Statement ignored."
If I want to run designer, I get message:CDR-20043: Non-versioned repository has no workarea or insufficient privileges. What should I to do to run designer?? I have Oracle Designer 9i.
Thanks

Tom,
the problem you have indicates that you missed important steps of the installation guide.
During the Repository installation, you are asked to connect as SYS and execute some grants:
grant execute on dbms_lock to repos_owner;
grant execute on dbms_pipe to repos_owner;
grant create table 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;
Please check the installation guide again.
If nothing was already defined in the Repository, the eaiest may be to drop your repository and recreate it after having executed all steps from the Installation Guide.
Hope this helps,
Didier
