Using linsolve for eigenvector calculation

Hi,

As a small part of an assignment i have been asked to calculate the
eigenvectors of a 5*5 matrix associated with its largest eigenvalue
using the characteristic polynomial for the values and the resulting
system of linear equations for the vectors.

I have the value of the largest eigenvalue in a variable lm and the
matrix is S. So i created a new symbolic vector X = [1;x1;x2;x3;x4]
and i want to use linsolve to find the solution.

linsolve(S,(lm*X)) was what i thought i had to use but it isnt
working.

Apologies im fairly new to matlab so im clearly completely missing
the point with linsolve :)

Thanks for any help
Dave
