In my experience, you will get this error if you have some libraries
which were built against an older version of Data.Map and then you
upgraded to the new Data.Map without rebuilding those libraries. Or,
if you just have some .o/.hi files in your local directory that were
built against the old Data.Map.

Have you tried creating a very simple new project like:

> module Main where

$ ghc --make Main.hs -o test

If that fails, then the problem is likely with your GHC 6 installation
itself, not some stale third party library.

Have you previously installed GHC 6 on this machine? If so, perhaps
the old version was not completely removed and the compiler is getting
mixed up.

Alternatively, perhaps the new version requires you to install some
extra package to get all the libraries, instead of just the core
libraries ? Looking at the binary distribution page, that does not
appear to be the case.
