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.

cheers,
