Well, either your load-path is not set correctly or you are missing the file.
sha1.el is a file that is distributed with emacs. In my case, it is in
/usr/local/share/emacs/24.0.50/lisp/sha1.elc
but depending on which version of emacs you have and how you installed it,
it may be in a different directory.
Try locating it with
M-x locate-library sha1
If not found, try to find where standard elisp files are located in your
setup and see if sha1.el or sha1.elc is in there as well (e.g. try
M-x locate-library files
That should certainly be found: check the directory and see if sha1.el
and/or sha1.elc is in that directory. If not, your installation is
probably incomplete. If it is there, try loading it with
M-x load-library sha1
If all of that works, the compilation of org-feed.el should work as well.
If not, send another note and include the output of all the commands above
as well as the version of emacs you are running:
M-x emacs-version
