Sutirtha,

What about ivreg2?  (That's the one I asked about - xtivreg2 is basically a wrapper for ivreg2.)

Even if it looks up to date, you might try forcing an update - it will reinstall the Mata library livreg2.mlib, which has also been updated in the meantime (but the date of which you can't easily check).
