This looks like you have installed LilyDev 5.1.
Use this one only if you want to experiment with/contribute to the
guilev2 moving problems.
Please confirm you really want to do so, then I'll provide the howto.

More likely you want to have LilyDev 4.1 (which works with guile-1.8)
from the same website:
https://github.com/fedelibre/LilyDev/releases

Can't say anything about the OSX problems, though.
