<div dir="ltr">As a follow up I am having the *exact same problems* on MacOS. SAGA runs from the command line without problems, yet cannot seem to run from within qgis. This has been an ongoing problem with qgis for the last two versions on my machine. Different versions, same problem.

Hi John,<br>
I've had this myself in the past. It's a result of the way it has been installed - are you using Windows or Linux? And what version of QGIS?<br>
</blockquote></span>
Jonathon,<br>
It's on a Windows machine. The QGIS version is 2.2. I used OSGeo4W Advanced Install and installed SAGA via the menus at the same time I installed QGIS.<br>
<br>
I started SAGA separately to see if there was something to select or click on, but I couldn't find anything helpful.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>
