Zachary's code works for me if I substitute "A" for "network" in the - symeigensytem()- command:

symeigensystem(A,eigenvector,eigenvalue)

While I am not sure about why the symeigensystem command isn't working, the problem might have something to do with the "A" matrix being rank deficient. In any case, I find that the commands:

eigensystem(A,X=.,L=.)

and

lefteigensystem(A,Y=.,M=.)

both generate values for eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the aforementioned A matrix (collected in X and L, and Y and M, respectively).

Running the commands below, mata does not yield any eigenvectors or
eigenvalues.  Computing eigenvectors/values in stata using matrix
symeigen seems to work without a problem.  Any help would be
appreciated.

mata

eigenvector = 0
eigenvalue = 0
symeigensystem(network,eigenvector,eigenvalue)

eigenvalue
end
