Building a conference bridge for newbs

Hi all,
Aside from years of working with Ubuntu Studio and some work with Asterisk via GUI, I am relatively new to Linux and have no experience with building a conference bridge using Linux prior to yesterday.
Here's what I have done;
Installed CentOS 6 - maybe not the be distro to use - recommendations are welcome.
Compiled Opal
Complied PWLib
Tried to compile openh323 but got ERROR 404 from voxgratia.org when trying to download openh323-v1_19_1...

I know it is too much to ask but does anyone have a checklist/step-by-step/how-to guide for building a conference bridge from Linux installation to openMCU installation with a guideline for the necessary steps in between.

I have been reading (and googling for days)

any recommendations are greatly appreciated. I am extremely interesting in learning more about the benefits and usage of VoIP/Videoconferencing using Linux.

Thanks

The OpenH323 project has been abandoned since 2007. The project has been continued on as H323plus. You will find all the latest source at http://www.h323plus.org/source/ there is a tutorial next to the download button.

IF you want the latest then get the source. GnuGk has build instructions for ptlib and h323plus
http://www.gnugk.org/gnugk-manual-14.html#ss14.1

There is no separate instructions for OpenMCU but the sourceforge repository is here.
