me too on the pi with kernel 3.6.11, using this source:
https://www.torproject.org/dist/tor-0.2.4.16-rc.tar.gz
it took 32 minutes to configure and compile (make && make install).

I'm wondering, is there any other method for running a tor 
bridge/relay on
the raspberry pi, other than downloading the source and compiling it
yourself?

Is it possible for the Tor project to make an extra option on the page
https://www.torproject.org/download/download-unix.html.en
with instructions for people to run a bridge/relay on the Pi? I think 
it
will help people not to spend time on installing the experimental 
wheezy
package for the ARMv7 architecture.
