I just tried (again) to install Leksah. I was wondering if you could
point out where I go wrong. I'm on a fully up-to-date Gentoo Linux
(kernel 3.4.3, 64 bit) box.

I ran the following commands (as described, more or less, on
http://leksah.org/download.html):

hilco at centaur ~ ~$ rm -rf .cabal/

hilco at centaur ~ ~$ cabal update
