Thanks.  This put me on the right track.  For the record, this is what I 
ended up doing:

1. Add the following lines in LocalSettings.php:
$wgStylePath = "/wiki/skins";
$wgStyleDirectory = "/var/www/html/wiki/skins";

2. Move the skins dir from the install dir to webroot:
# mv /usr/share/mediawiki/skins/ /var/www/html/wiki/

3. Copy the includes dir from install dir to webroot:
# cp -R /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/ /var/www/html/wiki/includes/
