Tutorial solution error: error in IOstream "OSHA1stream.sinkFile_" for operation Ostream& operator<<(Ostream&, const char)

[ZoroOP]

I am using OpenFOAM 9, and successfully installed OpenFOAM (icoFoam solver runs well in the cavity tutorial) and rheoTool.

But when I solving of90/tutorials/rheoFoam/Channel/Oldroyd-BLog, a error appears.

The error prompt is :

Thanks for your reply. I am a little confused here. As mentioned in your link, "Simply updating your OpenFOAM version should do the trick", so I should upgrade OpenFoam to v10? But rheoTool is compatible with v9 now.

By the way, I download OpenFOAM v9 form https://openfoam.org/download/archive/

Updating to the last patch of of90 or downgrading the compiler version.

You may find this hard to believe, but this is the first time I have heard of the patched version of OpenFoam. I have always naively assumed that v9 marked on the website must be the latest v9. In any case, thank you so much for your patient explanation. Thank you for your contributions to open source. I hope that one day I can reach your level and contribute to open source as well, however slow a learner I may be.
