This must be the trouble.  Looks like the contributor's guide needs to 
be updated to point to both LilyDev5 and LilyDev4 and explain why to use 
one or the other.  Currently it just points to the latest (LilyDev5).

Charles, once you get your dev environment set up, updating the 
contributor's guide would make a good "first bug" if you'd like to get 
familiar with the process.  (Changes to the docs and website work the 
same way as patches to the source code.)
