Thanks for the report. This is an Anaconda issue: Anaconda shouldn't be mixing OS libraries with its own incompatible versions. Please bring it to the attention of the Anaconda team.

Fortunately, I found a workaround for this problem in the following post: https://blog.csdn.net/qq_38606680/article/details/129118491
The post is written in Chinese, but you can use a translator to understand it.
I would like to know if this issue can be resolved on the openslide-python side or if it should be brought to the attention of the miniconda team.
I truly appreciate the efforts put into developing this library. Thank you.
