ERROR: You do not have SELECT privileges on sys.V_$PARAMETE R view. This process cannot proceed.

Hello,
I am using ORACLE 10g Standard Edition and I am trying to configure the Oracle Designer for which a repository must be installed. The following is the procedure I am following:

• START >
• PROGRAMS >
• ORACLE
• DEVELOPER SUITE –DevSuite1 >
• DESIGNER >
• REPOSITORY ADMINISTRATION UTILITY

I am connecting to the database from which the repository will be formed. So I enter the following
Enter the following

Username: SYSMAN

Password: password

Connect String: orcl

When I login to the Repository Administration Utility,
I click "Install" and I follow by clicking all the affirmatives. (see attachment)





So this is what I do after:
1. I Open up command prompt

2. ENTER: sqlplus sys/change_on_insta ll@orcl as sysdba

And I receive the following:

SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.2 - Production on Sat Nov 7 14:04:41 2009

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Enter user-name:

-----------------------------


SO I then enter the username:
Enter user-name[/I]:SYSMAN
Enter password: ********


and this is the outcome:
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

SQL>




I then enter:
GRANT SELECT ON sys.V_$paramete r to SYSMAN;



and I receive this:
GRANT SELECT ON sys.V_$paramete r to SYSMAN;
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-10301: Insufficient Privileges




Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, please?
(I'm not experienced in using Oracle)
Thanks in advance!!!
