Just guessing: Your nix perhaps disables for security reasons executing programs in /tmp. It might be configurable in CentOS, but I don't know that.

The alternative solution: It seems you're trying go run to execute a Go program (which is as script as C is a script). Try (assuming $GOPATH=~, the easy possibility) instead a normal build, i.e. instead of

me:~/src/foo$ go run main.go

try

me:~/src/foo$ go build # main.go should not be necessary here
me:~/src/foo$ ./foo

This approach will still use /tmp-whatever to create the binary, IIRC, but it will not attempt to execute it from there.

PS: Do not run these command as root. No need for that with correct setup.
