OpenFOAM simple blockMesh floating point exception-CodePudding

I am learning OpenFOAM step by step, and am currently trying to create a very simple mesh with the blockMesh tool, but keep getting a floating point exception. My blockMeshDict is written in almost exact correspondence to the meshing tutorial in the

This config immediately breaks with the following error:

I am reasonably sure this is not just a broken OpenFOAM installation (I am specifically using the org version from the Arch AUR) because a different mesh dict copied in place of mine from the archive given in

Side note: You are referring to openfoam.com documentation while you are using the OpenFOAM foundation version (openfoam.org). Be careful, because they are not necessarily compatible.
