Re: st: AW: RE: Error ivreg2 "must have ranktest version 01.2.02 or geater..."

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

I think therefore we need more information to know what is going on.

For example:

1. A complete inventory of all ranktest.ado on Wiebke's machine
visible to Stata,
meaning the results of -which ranktest, all- together with the results
of -pwd-.

2. The results of -adopath-.

3. What Wiebke means by "does not work".
