Using pg_catalog to define things across schemas

I am currently trying to solve the problem by using different schemas,
but then I have to consider all the GIS stuff. Putting the same things
in different schemas is no problem, but comparing the same type defined
in different schemas will lead to confusion, because Postgres treats
them as different types. So what about moving them to pg_catalog:


SET search_path TO pg_catalog;

CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE LANGUAGE plpythonu;
\i /usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql
\i /usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/spatial_ref_sys.sql

psql:/usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql:2222: ERROR:
permission denied to create "pg_catalog.geometry_dump"
DETAIL:  System catalog modifications are currently disallowed.
psql:/usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql:2228: ERROR:
current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of
transaction block
...


How can I enable system catalog modifications?

Thanks for your help, so far.
