As far as I know this kind of issue comes not from Groovy itself, but from your user not having write rights to /tmp. For example if your tmp is mounted readonly.
Background: Jansi requires native libraries, that are part of the jar. Java cannot load them form the jar and requires them to be put "somewhere", which is usually /tmp. Since it seems your tmp cannot be written you get the "Operation not permitted".
