BIM comes with its own copy of Simplepie. Like you I saw the problems around Magpie and BIM really needs to build on a firm foundation of feed manipulation and Simplepie was the best solution.
The complicating factor is that Simplepie doesn't appear to be standard with Moodle, so I had to include it in BIM. Which causes a clash if you have it installed.
The solution would probably be to remove BIM's simplpie. I can't do this (yet) with the main source as too many Moodle installs don't have it.
Some instructions
- remove BIM's simplepie Delete the directory/folder ~/moodle/mod/bim/lib/simplepie This is where BIM's simplepie resides
- update the require in ~/moodle/mod/bim/lib/bim_rss.php This is the only file that uses simplepie. Line 17 of this file is require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/mod/bim/lib/simplepie/simplepie.inc'); You need to change this to point to your version of Simplepie (or perhaps you don't need to given the clash you're getting).
Hope this helps.
David.

I have Simplepie RSS system installed in Moodle 1.9.7 instead of Magpie. BIM creates a nasty error when running cron.php:
This also occurs if I try to use an RSS feed in the same course as a BIM activity.
