I will try to figure out why it doesn't work for you. My output is below:
************************* Output ***********************************
. clear
. input str6 gender str8 party wgt
gender party wgt
1. male democrat 55
2. male repub 65
3. female democrat 50
4. female repub 30
5. end
. encode gender, gen(numgender)
. encode party, gen(numparty)
. ipf [fweight = wgt], fit(numgender + numparty)
Deleting all matrices......
Expansion of the various marginal models
----------------------------------------
marginal model 1 varlist : numgender
marginal model 2 varlist : numparty
unique varlist numgender numparty
N.B. structural/sampling zeroes may lead to an incorrect df
Residual degrees of freedom = 1
Number of parameters = 3
Number of cells = 4
Loglikelihood = 586.68180806674
Loglikelihood = 586.68180806674
Goodness of Fit Tests
---------------------
df = 1
Likelihood Ratio Statistic G² = 5.3875 p-value = 0.020
Pearson Statistic X² = 5.3467 p-value = 0.021

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
