Welcome to LQ.

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
... And then replace the text with :

Code:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security multiverse universe

Next : sudo apt-get update
.. And you should be able to use synaptic etc. for package install.

AFAIK, build-essential package is available on the Ubuntu CD itself.
So you can install directly from the CD -

Code:

#sudo apt-get install build-essential
