Comment(by hellais):

 I setup an obfs proxy on a box and made this little guide to get it up and
 running on Ubuntu 11.04:

 # Install the basic dependencies
 apt-get install autoconf autotools-dev gcc git pkg-config libtool
 # Build the libevent backport
 # get devscripts package
 apt-get install devscripts
 # Download intrigeri's key to verify the back port
 gpg --recv-key A57498FF
 # Download the backport
 mkdir libevent-2.0;cd libevent-2.0;
 dget
 http://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/tmp/libevent_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1/libevent_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.changes
 dpkg -i libevent-2.0-5_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.deb
 dpkg -i libevent-core-2.0-5_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.deb
 dpkg -i libevent-extra-2.0-5_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.deb
 dpkg -i libevent-pthreads-2.0-5_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.deb
 dpkg -i libevent-openssl-2.0-5_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.deb
 dpkg -i libevent-dbg_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.deb
 dpkg -i libevent-dev_2.0.16-stable-1~bpo60+1_amd64.deb

 cd ../
 git clone https://git.torproject.org/obfsproxy.git
 cd obfsproxy
 ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

 # To start the obfsproxy directly without installing (replace 9001 with
 your ORPort)
 ./obfsproxy obfs2 --dest=127.0.0.1:9001 server 0.0.0.0:1051

 # To install it and make Tor invoke obfsproxy (requires Tor >=
 2.3.11-alpha)
 make install
 echo "ServerTransportPlugin obfs2 exec /usr/local/bin/obfsproxy --managed"
 >> /etc/torrc
 /etc/init.d/tor restart
 cat /var/log/tor/log | grep obfs2
