DA,

all objects ARE valid (as pointed out by the OP). It could not be VALIDATED. I don't think a sys.standard error will put one up with an extra instance (or did you get one when you invalidated it a while ago by trying to recompile it?).

Look like some post install action failed. Have googled around but no info about this. Are you using SLES (Enterprise Server?)
