It appears that the spgmmxt module makes use of a Mata library included in the RPNFCN package, which is not listed as a dependency in the SPGMMXT package. As the author of SPGMMXT has produced dozens of similarly-named routines, I am unsure which might need this library and which might not. Hopefully he can provide a clarification. The examples in SPGMMXT worked on my machine, as for whatever reason I already have this library installed:

: mata desc using lrpn
(library contains 19 members)
