st: Re: ivreg2 program code

["Michael Ndlovu" <Michael.Ndlovu@resbank.co.za>]

Dear Nick
 
I apologise if my previous e-mail was not clear. I do require assistance with the ivreg2 function. However I am having a problem with my server thus I did not download it through the ssc install command, I am actually using a program define do file which I ascertained from the following address:

http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/i/ivreg2.ado

I encountered this issue when I tried to run this code as a do file on my stata 12.0. If I indeed require a more advanced mata code may you please direct me to where I can ascertain the latest coding in a do file format.

I cannot use the ssc command.

Michael

You are trying to use -ivreg2- (SSC) and -ranktest- (SSC). Please
remember to explain where user-written commands you refer to come
from. Also the heading -ivreg- is misleading as -ivreg- is a quite
different command.

Your problem is one with the associated Mata code. Please check that
you downloaded the latest version of the Mata library required. --ssc
desc ivreg2- and -ssc desc ranktest- show that you need to install
livreg2.mlib. Sometimes closing and restarting Stata fixes small
problems like this.

I am currently using stata 12.0 and the problem is that when I run the code on from a do file stata gives me a r(3000) error message and informs me that "struct ms_vcvorthog undefined", under the subheading "LIML" of the code.
