Mata never even tries to calculate any eigenvalues, as before that point
-invvech()- chokes on what you feed it.
To hear more, you need to tell us more about your matrix M.
As Martin said, -moremata- is not invoked here and so appears irrelevant
to your problem.

I am tring to use Mata to calculate the eigenvalues of the matrix, but
there is some problems. First, I installed the moremata package by Ben
Jann. Then, when I type:
mata:
M = st_matrix("M")
lambda = J(cols(M), 4, .)
for(t=1; t<=cols(M); t++) {
mt = invvech(M[., t])
lambda[t, .] = symeigenvalues(mt)
}
lambda
end
The output shows:
invvech(): 3498 invalid vech
<istmt>: - function returned error
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
r(3498);
.
. lambda
unrecognized command: lambda
r(199);
.
. end
unrecognized command: end
r(199);
if I type:
mata:
M = st_matrix("M")
lambda = J(cols(M), 4, .)
for(t=1; t<=cols(M); t++) {
mt = invvech(M[., t])
lambda[t, .] = symeigenvalues(mt)
}
the output shows:
invvech(): 3498 invalid vech
<istmt>: - function returned error
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
r(3498);
Do you know where's the error of my codes?
