Ifsconfig : IFS 1.1.9 & RedHat 7.1 problem

Question

Hi,
I'm currently trying to install a new development platform using the latest goodies (RedHat 7.1, ifs 1.1.9, latest IBM 1.3 JVM and so on).
Using the official RedHat workaround (+ unset LANG) Oracle and IFS both install fine.
However when I try to run ifsconfig on a newly created base it chokes on the + copying files into the repository ; stage (no dead processes, no core, the install just gets an eternity to go nowhere)
IfsConfigOut.log stops at :
copying webUI files into iFS...
creating file: [index.html] --> into folder: []
That's a pity since it's hardly the more difficult part of the install.
Any idea to get it to work ?

Did you have something particular in mind ? There is an awfull lot of trace files once it's enabled:(. Anyway, here are some results :

Do you want me to zip and mail them to you ?
