transformers version 3.0.0 installaion failing with Rust lang 1.73.0.

Hello, Thank you for this project.

I am trying to install the dependency software to run this repository's example. My environment is Fedora Linux 38, and the used programming languages are below.

$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 38 (Thirty Eight)

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 13.2.1 20230728 (Red Hat 13.2.1-1)
Copyright (C) 2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

$ rustc --version
rustc 1.73.0 (cc66ad468 2023-10-03) (Fedora 1.73.0-1.fc38)

$ python3 --version
Python 3.11.5

I tried to install the transformers version 3.0.0 pip package written in the README.md on the virtualenv (venv) environment for clean installation.

$ https://github.com/dmis-lab/biobert-pytorch.git
$ cd biobert-pytorch
$ python3 -m venv ./venv3
$ source venv3/bin/activate

Then I got the following error. The full log is here.

Anyone, did you see this error? Is the cause of the error perhaps the rustic version is too new for the transformers version 3.0.0?
