Get someone with access to the root account on that server to run sudo apt-get install build-essential  If you don t know who has root access  contact the support team for your shared hosting and ask them   Edit  If you aren t allowed access to root  you aren t ever going to get it working  You ll have to change hosting provider I m afraid
