Re: st: Error message when trying to regression model with eststo prefix.

No; something is wrong somewhere your end. That -ssc- command should
work to give you the later version Maarten mentions. (I didn't doubt
him, but I can confirm that it works.)
Check carefully that you don't have two or more versions of this
package in different places. -ssc install, replace- only replaces
package files where they are supposed to be. It does nothing about
such files in other places. You may need to use your operating system
for this.
