The approach taken on Scribunto, though -- forking out a bundled lua binary -- works even on shared hosting. I've even managed to get it working on GoDaddy's notorious hosting.
Works on *some* shared hosting.
We had problems for a while where many people with shared hosting running CentOS 5 couldn't run the provided binaries because their glibc was too old. Finally I installed CentOS 5 in VirtualBox and recompiled Lua against the older glibc.
Did you try the binaries from these RPMs? http://pkgs.repoforge.org/lua/
Even if you can't install the RPM, maybe you could extract the lua binary and use it.
