panel unit root tests make absolutely no sense with T=2. You are looking for the long run behavior of a time series, and you have two observations on the time series. No way to do that. After all, even a Dickey-Fuller test on a single time series implies regressing the difference in X on the lagged level of X, and you have precisely one observation for that regression.

I tried the levin-lin test. Unfortunately, I get an error message :

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
