Can you declare it?

What is the entity it's complaining about? Without seeing what it is,
it's impossible to do much.

No.

If it's one of the standard character entities, just copy and paste the
declaration from one of the well-known sets of character entity 
declarations such as the ones which come with DocBook. Otherwise you
must know what sequence of bytes the character entity is supposed to
represent, and make the declaration yourself.
