You need to re-install iPhoto. It's missing bits of itself:

Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeSlideshow.framework/Versions/A/iLifeSlid eshow
...
Reason: image not found


To re-install iPhoto


1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)

2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name

3. Re-install.

If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.

If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
