ORA-06550 error when exporting a database

An Oracle user asks why they may be getting an error when exporting a database.

I am trying to export a 10.2.0.3 database, and I am getting an error.

My database version is 10.2.0.3 and the exp version 10.2.0.3

Thanks for your feedback.

It could be that your Data Dictionary is not set to support this higher version of export. Sign on to your database as SYS and run the @?/rdbms/admin/catexp.sql script. If that doesn't fix the problem, try rerunning @?/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql and @?/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql scripts.
