Was this the version which was installed on the other machines?

Most of the cases there is no need to "install" anything on an additional 
exechost when you have already a working cluster.

- Prepare a proper /etc/hosts or NIS or alike on the new machine, so that all 
machines in the cluster are known for it (and also the old machines should be 
able to reference the new one)
- Mount /opt/sge or /usr/sge on the new exechost
- Copy $SGE_ROOT/default/common/sgeexecd to /etc/init.d

Depending on the startup of services you need either:

# /etc/init.d/sgeexecd start
# chkconfig --add sgeexecd

or

# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl start sgeexecd.service
# systemctl enable sgeexecd.service

BTW: Is tmpdir in the queue definition just /tmp or do you need an additional 
/scratch or alike on the new machine too?
