Please specify what kind of PROBLEM you are experiencing and trying to solve. Without these details, there's nothing much we can do for you.
Do you know about curve fitting in general? Do you want to know how to specify a Gamma function as a fit function? Etc. etc.

I am using curve fitting, but gamma Probability density function is missing in the function list. I do not know how to call or let it appear in curving fitting option. (the name(function) of "Gamma" is already in Igor).Many thanks.

Have you read the section about user-defined fitting functions? You can do so by executing 
displayHelpTopic "User-Defined Fitting Function: Detailed Description"
on Igor's command line.
Your fit function might look similar to this:
Function GammaFit(w,x) : FitFunc
	WAVE w
	Variable x

	return w[0]+w[1]*gamma(w[2]*x+w[3])
End
