Hi,
The latest SVN snap seems to have a typo:

rrd_fetch_libdbi.c: In function 'rrd_fetch_fn_libdbi':
rrd_fetch_libdbi.c:404: error: 'struct sql_table_helper' has no member named 'filtename'


Once I fixed that, all seems to work well!
Fixing bugs before I even get around to reporting them, thats some service :)

Thanks a lot!
