Data dictionary is installed automatically; you don't install it separately.

As of you being unable to query v$waitstat, well, you have probably connected to the database as a user who doesn't have required privileges. I guess that, if you connect as SYS, everything should work. Though, you should probably NOT abuse use of the SYS account - create another privileged user and grant it privileges you need. Leave SYS alone.

Of course, when you create the database not with the Database Configuration Assistant but "by hand" with a CREATE DATABASE statement, then you also have to run the creation of the data dictionary "by hand"
