You're not actually linking against OpenSlide.  You'll need to add 
"-L/usr/local/lib -lopenslide" to your command line.  (Even better, get 
the requisite compiler flags through pkg-config: add "$(pkg-config 
--cflags --libs openslide)" instead, drop 
"-I/usr/local/include/openslide", and make sure /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig 
is in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH.)
