[OSRM-talk] File is incompatible with this version of OSRM (v5.28.0)

[Paul]

Hi and thanks again for your help with this and the useful info for future reference.

As you mentioned the 'sudo apt-get remove osrm' didn't do anything. 
In the end I deleted the osrm-backed directory and enclosed files and reinstalled again after checking for the v5.27.1 tag from the git repo.

There were no errors reported on installation and so far all seems to be working as expected.

I did try docker on a development setup sometime back and it seemed to work well. But I never managed to process the .pbf files with docker due to memory constraints so had to fall back to a source install for this. I may re-visit the docker option at some point for the portability advantages.

Cheers

Paul

I just had a quick look: OSRM has an uninstall target, you can try "(sudo) make -C build uninstall" (if you did follow those instructions). By default everything should be installed to /usr/local/<include/lib/share/etc>, I'd have a look if everything was really removed. Those convenience (likely untested) targets tend to get stale after some while.
