but when I tried using xtabond2, I received an error message:

      <istmt>:  3499  xtabond2_mata() not found

I use UNIX machine, could this be an issue?


No. You need to rebuild the index of Mata packages on your machine.  
Easiest way to do that is quit Stata and restart.  Or within Stata you  
can do

mata: mata mlib index

which will do it on the fly. That mata function should then be  
accessible.
This point is discussed in ITSP, cited below.
