Yup.  That part worked fine.  Passed all the tests, etc.

Indeed.  It could not find the master copies of those files. 
Despite installing itself according to perl's Config.pm - which
in my case meant it wound up in /opt/perl/bin, /opt/perl/share, etc
- it was looking for the files under /usr/share/spamassassin and in a
handful of other hard-coded places that have nothing to do with the
actual installation directories.

I did finally get it configured properly, and so far it seems to be
working very well.  In the past day it appears to have caught all of
the spam sent me, along with three "false positives" - all of which
were cron job output that uses a spamer-like attention-getting subject line.
