I ran into this exact same problem as well.  I ended up adjusting the  
lifestream.php file and replaced:

----------
if (!class_exists('SimplePie'))
{
     require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/lib/simplepie.inc.php');
}
----------

with:

----------
require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-simplepie.php';
----------

This just makes the lifestream plugin use the simplepie that ships  
with WP 2.8+
