I just installed version 3.5-7 from CRAN and as far as I can tell there 
are no problems @ all.

Don't understand @ all when you say that you removed the texlive 
packages; from where? From your system?  What effect would this have on 
plotrix? Or from the plotrix package? If the latter, they should never 
have been there in the first place.
