insufficient priviledges error when trying to grant select

Hello all....I'm fairly new to Oracle and ran across the following yesterday...

I was trying to grant select priviledges on a table in one schema to a different user. I was logged in using INTERNAL (also tried this from SYSTEM). when I ran the statement I received the error that I didnt have sufficient priviledges to do this. Does SYS/INTERNAL not have all priviledges? I also logged in directly as SYS as well with the same result. I ended up logging in as the user that owned the table and doing it that way but I found it very strange that with a DBA account I couldnt do this. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason
