st: re: trouble with Mata module from ssc

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Thomas said
I have added the component moremata from ssc and verified the install
to stata.  When I enter mata and try to use any of the functions
(mm_median or mm_quantile) on a matrix in mata I get mm_median() or
mm_quantile() not found.  Is there a special step needed to be taken
in mata to use an installed component?

When you install a SSC package containing a Mata function library  
(.mlib), you must tell Mata that this library should be searched.  
Each time Stata starts up it will rebuild the list of available Mata  
libraries. You can tell Stata to perform this task without restarting  
Stata with

mata: mata mlib index
