You're supposed to name a Common Lisp compiler here but you specified the directory where Emacs stores (some of) its Emacs Lisp files.
SLIME is intended to provide (from within Emacs) an integrated development environment for Common Lisp systems. Note that Emacs Lisp (the language most of Emacs is written in) and Common Lisp are two very different dialects of Lisp.
You should install a Common Lisp compiler first. As you're on OS X you should try OpenMCL or SBCL, both open source, or a commercial trial version from Franz or Xanalys. All these should work with SLIME.
