That really depends on many things:

- did you download packages or source ?
- if you did download source, did you have the appropiate pwlib and
openh323 libs installed (h323 resides in channels/h323, check it's
README)

I installed the oh323 myself. I was just wondering if it was done on
purpose. I installed asterisk from the source, and your are right i had
neither the openh323 nor the pwlib library installed.
Apparently it was not done on purpose.
However, if i asked the question it is because i always thought that H323
was more robust and much better than SIP. But since i joined the * world, it
looks like I was wrong and that new development are going towards SIP rather
than H323.

Correct me if I am wrong.

oh323 is not h323. There are 2 different channel drivers for h323. Keep
that in mind.

That is correct. H.323 is something nobody real will deal with, but it's
still supported because a lot of the old fashioned carriers do H.323.

H.323 support for Asterisk based on the original code (asterisk-oh323)
is far from dying. Check:
http://www.inaccessnetworks.com/projects/asterisk-oh323
for the latest code.
 
Thanks

Nobody real deals with it and it's supported by old fashioned carriers?

Please, don't thak this as an insult, but you need to qualify that your
background obviously doesn't include any carrier-class bulk VoIP
termination whatsoever when you make broad statement like that.

Millions and milions of minutes of voice and fax traffic each day are
carried over h.323, for end users that don't even know they are using
VoIP, and in most cases don't even know what VoIP is.  Minutes handled
by bold "old" and new companies.

Now if you wanted to say that it's not in vogue for soft PBXen and key
systems to support h.323, I'll buy that.  But I'm going to guess that
voice traffic over SIP is a mere fraction of voice traffic over h.323 on
any given day.
