I also tried the following, but still failed:
? mat1 = [ -210, -210, -220; -221, -222, -232; 410, 411, 430 ]
%8 =
[-210 -210 -220]
[-221 -222 -232]
[ 410 411 430]
? vec1 = [ -27, -28, 105/2 ]
%9 = [-27, -28, 105/2]
? matsolvemod(mat1,[1,1,1],vec1~,1)
*** at top-level: matsolvemod(mat1,[1,1,1],vec1~,1)
*** ^---------------------------------
*** matsolvemod: incorrect type in matsolvemod (D) (t_VEC).
