Can't use invert(), function $ADJOINT is undefined



Hello:

I can't seem to use invert() to invert a matrix:

(%i1) A : matrix([1, 0], [0, 1])
;

                                   [ 1  0 ]
(%o1)                              [      ]
                                   [ 0  1 ]
(%i2) invert(A);

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Error in MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL [or a callee]: The
function $ADJOINT is undefined.

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to
nil.

(%i3) A^^-1;

                                   [ 1  0 ]
(%o3)                              [      ]
                                   [ 0  1 ]

~~~~~~

Any ideas about how I can fix this?  Weird that the
^^-1 operator works, but the invert() function does
not.  I thought one was just an alias for the other.

Thanks,
Dan
