Ah.. this is better. :-)

00439, 00000, "feature not enabled: %s"
// *Cause:  The specified feature is not enabled.
// *Action: Do not attempt to use this feature.

Bitmap indexes is only available with Oracle Enterprise version I believe? 
Will not work on Standard Version.

If you do have Enterprise installed, it could be that you did not install 
the bitmap index option.. that's to say if it is a separate installable 
option (like Parallel Query is for example).
