WordPress RSS error: "The file simplepie.php could not be found."

Question

I'm trying to include an RSS feed in my blog using fetchfeed() and loop through the items, in sidebar.php. Instead of the feed, I get this text "The file simplepie.php could not be found." I searched for a while and could only find references to class-simplepie.php, not simplepie.php. Does anyone have any idea what is going on, here?

Here's my code:

<?php if(function_exists('fetch_feed')): ?>
    <?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/feed.php');
    $feed = fetch_feed('feed URL');
    $limit = $feed->get_item_quantity(5);
    $items = $feed->get_items(0, $limit);
    if(!$items) {
        echo "There was an error.";
    } else { ?>
        <?php foreach($items as $item): ?>
            <div class="sidebar_post">
                <p class="date"><?php echo $item->get_date('F j, Y'); ?></p>
                <h5><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></h5>
                <p><?php echo $item->get_content(); ?></p>
            </div>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
<? } ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Add this line to your wp-config.php

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

I've already tried that and it had no effect. Do I need to do something more than refresh the page? – sinrise Dec 15 '12 at 08:37
After adding that line, I reinstalled WordPress. Still getting the same result. – sinrise Dec 15 '12 at 18:28
