ParseException raised during parsing a valid RSS feed (Declarations can only ...)

[eduard@…]

I keep getting this error message while parsing a valid RSS feed:

#<REXML::ParseException?: Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration. Line: Position: Last 80 unconsumed characters: <![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href=" http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel=> /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/baseparser.rb:325:in `pull' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/treeparser.rb:21:in `parse' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:178:in `build' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:45:in `initialize'

I can't copy the entire RSS feed in here since it's too big, but I always get this error while trying to parse  http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml

I searched online but couldn't find any information about this particular problem.

I am using Ruby 1.8.4 on Fedora Core 4 Ruby Feedparser is used to parse RSS

Thanks, eduard

This is the RSS file that I try to parse but get #<REXML::ParseException?: Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration.
