I am having the same problem. I did try a reinstall with RH 7.1, but the results were similar, however the ins_ctx.mk make errors did not happen with RH7.1, only with RH 7.3. I still had to intervene earlier with similar JRE errors toward the beginning of the install. Unfortunately, the results were still the same and the assistants failed. I can only join my voice with yours in seeking a solution to this problem.
