Dear Carl,

   OK, I have been casting about to find out what the problem was; invoking
lessc on the ini was just something I tried since the error from the
makefile is completely opaque. I already had PIL and pyparsing installed,
just checked again to make sure...

    After fighting a bit with npm to get lessc installed I now have
lessc-1.4.2 which is giving this error:

/srv/galaxy-dist/static/style$ sudo make OUT=blue
make[1]: Entering directory `/srv/galaxy-dist/static/style/blue'
lessc -x ../base.less base.css
util.error: Use console.error instead
ParseError: Unrecognised input in
/srv/galaxy-dist/static/style/bootstrap/mixins.less on line 561, column 7:
560     .spanX (@index) when (@index > 0) {
561       (~".span@{index}") { .span(@index); }
562       .spanX(@index - 1);

make[1]: *** [base.css] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/srv/galaxy-dist/static/style/blue'
make: *** [all] Error 2

So now I guess i'm going to try and downgrade specifically to lessc 1.3.3
