The 2003 post you quote predates Mata, but the 2011 post is related to
the one I linked to,
and has answers embedded in it. The first followup linked from it
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-01/msg00297.html
illustrates relevant commands as well.

Can you provide an example where you are unable to compute the
eigensystem for a nonsymmetric matrix?
I.e. provide a complete set of Stata commands that fails to produce
the desired result?

mata
A=uniform(4,4)
A=A:/colsum(A)
eigensystem(A,X=.,L=.)
X
L
v1=X[.,1]
v=v1:/sum(v1)
v,A*v
