I think I have found the solution. During the installation of the new version of Rserve, there was an unnoticed error message:

cannot create regular file ‘/usr/lib64/R/bin/Rserve’: Text file busy

This was because the previous version of Rserve was running. The solution is this:

0. sudo yum install openssl-devel

1. sudo killall -INT Rserve

2. sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp

3. sudo R

install.packages('Rserve',,"http://rforge.net/",type="source")

4. sudo mount -o remount,noexec /tmp

5. sudo systemctl start rserve
