Dear Vassilis,
I do not maintain gdecomp because there are arguments against variable-level decomopsitions.
I am aware of the error message and recenlty I made a change which hopefully solves your problem.
To reinstall gdedomp, please use the commands
net from "http://web.uni-corvinus.hu/bartus/stata";
net install gdecomp, replace
Hope this helps,
Tamás
