If you have access with ssh, you might want to see it works:
as raghs mentions, the most severe problem might be libraries, but
AFAIK swftools use quite common ones, there is some hope left.

wget http://www.swftools.org/swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz
tar xfz swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz
cd swftools*
./configure

Then you get a long list with errors and comments, and some thing
looking like this:
***************************************************
* The following headers/libraries are missing:  jpeglib ungif
jpeglib.h freetype gif_lib.h
* Disabling pdf2swf tool...
* Disabling jpeg2swf tool...
* Disabling gif2swf tool...
***************************************************
In my case pdf2swf does not compile:-(, but this is not a real webserver....
but after

make
find . -name png2swf

e.g. png2swf works like a charm:
/pathtoswftools/src/png2swf test.png -o test.swf
