Question: Solving linear systems...doesn't work

Hello everyone! First, I have to say, that I am very new to Maple, so excuse my silly questions and please explain carefully ;-) I have a very simple problem: I'd like to solve a linear system, but it doesn't work. It's quite large, i.e. so large, that I did not try to use it by hand and thought: let my computer do it! Here are the two possibilities that I tried: 1. with(LinearAlgebra); > M:=Matrix(16, 16, [[1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0] , [0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0], [1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0], [0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0], [1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0], [0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0], [0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0], [1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1], [0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0], [0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1], [0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1], [0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0], [0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1]]); [ 16 x 16 Matrix ] [ Data Type: anything ] M := [ Storage: rectangular ] [ Order: Fortran_order ] > b:=
