I am using R 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 14 64 bit version. I installed SAGA GIS 2.1.2 and RSAGA 0.93-6.
So far all seems to work fine.
rsaga.env() works, I use:
work_env <- rsaga.env(modules='/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/saga/')
because on the 64 bit the modules are located somewhere else. Getting the libraries works as well:
> rsaga.get.libraries(path=work_env$modules)

[61] "ta_preprocessor" "ta_profiles" "ta_slope_stability" "tin_tools"
[65] "tin_viewer"
But when I try to get the modules or anything else it gives a weird error:
> rsaga.get.modules("ta_preprocessor", env=work_env)
Error: tool
$ta_preprocessor
NULL
I found out that rsaga officially doesn't support higer versions of SAGA GIS 2.1.0 but when I try 2.1.0 I get the error described in another question: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/109497/rsaga-saga-cmd-2-1-0-error-inconsistency
How should I solve this error?
I kind of fixed it by compiling SAGA GIS 2.1.1 from source (http://sourceforge.net/p/saga-gis/wiki/Compiling%20a%20Linux%20Unicode%20version/). When I execute a tool with RSAGA I do get another error; "Error: module", but the execution seems to do fine.
Also, SAGA GIS sometimes quits with a segmentation fault... but not to often.
