10.2.0.2 RAC on AIX 5.3 ml03

Pertinent info:

  AIX 5.3 ml 03, 4GB ram & 2 cpu's on a P550 partition, gpfs 2.3.0.13

      fiber attached to a brocade 3850
  Oracle 10.2.0.2 64 bit EE, RAC Install.   Netapp Filer fiber attached to a brocade 3850

Anyone here able to create an instance via DBCA with this version? I'm performing an initial install of the software on the machine. With the first attempt at installing 10.2.0.2 patchset, it turns out that Oracle really messed up the patchset. There were file permissions issues, they were expecting os binaries where they don't belong and linking warnings. Anyhow, Oracle re-released the patchset just this last Friday, I removed the initial installation completely, install the base release of CRS then the database software. I then installed the patchset for the CRS home and then the database home. Being that this is an install of a single node, the ONS setup at the end failed and CRS would not start properly and had no resources. I since kicked the machine and reran vipca, it created the ons, gsd & vip resources properly and CRS started fine. The problem lies in trying to start dbca as oracle, I recieve an 'Exception in thread "main"' at the command line and nothing happens. Inspecting the cfgtoollogs for dbca, I see the following:

Anyone seen this? It appears dbca is having issues reading the OCR info. Oracle support has been less than stellar on this. The only way in which dbca runs is if you run it as root. Does anyone know if this is correct, run dbca as root?
