[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1:

linsolve is generally unnecessary in Octave, you can just use the division
operators '/', '\', or their named equivalents mldivide, mrdivide.  In fact,
you can do this in Matlab as well and then the script would be portable
between the two.

Octave automatically detects the type of the matrix on the first attempt to
solve a linear equation.  You can manually set the matrix type, in the same
manner as linsolve, using the matrix_type() function.  But why bother? 
Particularly, because if you get the type wrong the results will be rubbish.
