The ORA-00439 means that you have not installed replication so make sure that you have the Enterprise Edition version and not Standard Edition. You can look at v$option and/or the banner when you startup svrmgr or SQL*Plus: 

SQL> select VALUE from v$option where PARAMETER='Advanced replication';

You have to have Oracle EE with Advanced Replication Option to create updateable snapshots or multy-master replication.
