Have you got:
(org-babel-do-load-languages
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '((R . t)
   (ditaa . t)
   (dot . t)
   (emacs-lisp . t)
   (gnuplot . t)
   (haskell . nil)
   (latex . t)
   (ledger . t)
   (ocaml . nil)
   (octave . t)
   (python . t)
   (ruby . t)
   (screen . nil)
   (sh . t)
   (sql . nil)
   (sqlite . t)))

somewhere in your .emacs. FWIW Ledger and Babel work fine on Arch here.
