[BioC] trouble using help() after loading IRanges and [tcl] grab failed and possible tcltk problem

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Andrew,

I'm running BioC 2.5 + R 2.10.1 on a Linux system too but I can't
reproduce this (I'm not even asked to choose between base::sort
and IRanges::sort).

Please provide the output of sessionInfo() that you get just after
a fresh R start immediately followed by library(IRanges).

Thanks,
H.
