Simple Pie library Not installed.

I have the same problem.
How does it work.
Where is simplepie.inc.
Is there any guide to help.

Spent the day trying to get this resolved... no luck... "The SimplePie library was not found" remains in my status report.
From the README.TXT:

- To use SimplePie parser, download either the compiled or minified SimplePie 
  and place simplepie_[version].compiled.php into feeds/libraries as 
  simplepie.compiled.php. Recommended version: 1.3.
  http://simplepie.org/

The documentation on the simplepie site is pretty good, but not for the Drupal plugin...
I cannot seem to get simplepie working on a drupal installation... "The SimplePie library was not found."
The library was installed with apt-get install libphp-simplepie .
I also unzipped the files into /profiles/openpublish/modules/contrib/feeds/libraries/
But as I look close at simplepie, I see it has ceased development http://simplepie.org/blog/2009/09/26/simplepie-is-ceasing-development/ so perhaps the easiest resolution to this problem is to disable and uninstall simplepie from server...

Thank you KPM! I had the same problem and your explanation helped immensely.

This is what I do to make it work:

1) Download http://simplepie.org/downloads/simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php
2) Upload simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php to /sites/all/modules/feeds/libraries
3) Rename file from simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php to simplepie.compiled.php
And go!!!

renaming simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php to simplepie.compiled.php did not fix it for me!

installing the simplepie drupal module didn't it neither! any ideas?

#4 worked for me.

Thanks IreOke

Hi donSchoe

I put the renamed simplepie.compiled.php in a folder called simplepie in the sites/all/libraries folder and this worked for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks

#4 by IreOke worked for me, thanks for such a simple tutorial :-) +1

Changing the issue as fixed & priority as normal.

Try this solution. It worked for me. https://drupal.org/node/1981504

#4 for the file, #7 for renaming the file and placing it in sites/all/libraries/simplepie/simplepie.compiled.php

Thank you!

and the working link to the file is http://simplepie.org/downloads/simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php

#4 worked for me.

Thanks IreOke

Last one (#13) worked for me. I appreciated.

@IreOke : Thanks. #4 works for me too. Basically check the "php" extension of the file "simplepie.compiled.php", when you download then it's contained with a "txt" extension like this "simplepie.compiled.php.txt" and confirm file path as "sites\all\libraries\simplepie\" or "sites\all\modules\contrib\feeds\libraries\".

Thanks and Regards,
B. Roy.

Thanks staceyb #4. I'm trying to find a use case for this module since it requires a SimplePie library file to be added to the lib directory located in the module, yet simply adding the complied file in #4 to your libraries directory is all that is required.

#4 worked for me too. Thanks IreOke!

#4 followed by #7 worked for me! Be sure to download the compiled file from the simplepie website!

Either #4 and #7 worked for me. Thanks!

Hi, just to acknowledge:

comment #4 from IreOke above works but the link to the library download page in the comment is edited erroneusly.

Is should be : http://simplepie.org/downloads/simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php

Thank You guys

Also THANKS IreOke - great help!

If you take a look at the most recent documentation and look at the README.markdown the following may be helpful:

### Where's `simplepie.inc`?
Since SimplePie 1.3, we've split the classes into separate files to make it easier
to maintain and use.

If you'd like a single monolithic file, you can run `php build/compile.php` to
generate `SimplePie.compiled.php`.
