Add troubleshooting guide for common build and installation errors #295

Description

@5Palak-Garg

Problem

The project provides installation and build instructions, but it lacks a dedicated troubleshooting section for common issues that contributors may encounter while setting up the project.

Common problems such as:

  • Rust toolchain version mismatch
  • Cargo dependency resolution errors
  • Missing system dependencies
  • Python binding build failures
  • Platform-specific build issues

can make onboarding difficult for new contributors.

Proposed Solution

Add a "Troubleshooting" section to the documentation that includes:

  • Common build errors
  • Possible causes
  • Recommended fixes
  • Platform-specific notes (Windows/Linux/macOS)
  • Helpful Cargo commands for debugging

Benefits

  • Better contributor onboarding
  • Reduced repetitive support questions
  • Easier setup for GSSoC participants
  • Improved developer experience

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.
