Not really an ffmpeg related question... and here's a suggestion to figure this out...

1) Issue the - id - command and notice your user + group (which relates to your login).

2) Issue the - ls -ld * - command and notice the user + group of other files.
    Likely this will show you the problem.

3) Issue the - touch foo - command to see if you can create a file.

4) Now... Issue the command - cd dir - where dir is where you're running configure,
    then do steps 1-3 again. Likely this will show you the problem.

5) Because the message mentions "temporary file", this may have to do with incorrect
    permissions on /tmp or /var/tmp (probably /tmp) which your Hosting Company will
    have to fix.

6) You can issue - touch /tmp/foo - and if you get an error... refer to #5.

7) I don't use Centos + a quick fix may be to add some or all of these to your .bash_profile

    export TEMP=$HOME/tmp
    export TMP=$HOME/tmp
    export TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp
    export TEMPDIR=$HOME/tmp

    Then...

    mkdir $HOME/tmp
