The ini file is not a .less file so it will error if you call lessc directly with it.
It may be that you're lacking some (not obvious) dependencies. Do you have pyparsing and PIL installed and available in your terminal (pip install will work with both)?
You can also use npm to update/install your node modules (sudo npm install -g less) if you have npm installed.

Dear Carl,
You are using a more recent version of lessc then I am so it isprobably just a versioning error. Ubuntu Precise Pangolin's repositories are still at lessc-1.2.1. So apparently I need to manually install a more recent version of the compiler. Here is a description of the error if anyone else has this problem:
I have not edited anything, when attempting to compile the vanillablue_colors.ini from the repo I receive an error like so:
$sudo lessc blue_colors.ini ParseError: Syntax Error on line 1 in /srv/galaxy-dist/static/style/blue_colors.ini:1:9 1 base_text=#303030 2 base_bg_top=#FFFFFF
However the only reason I used that command is because the makefile gives a different error:
$ sudo make OUT=blue make[1]: Entering directory `/srv/galaxy-dist/static/style/blue' lessc -x ../base.less base.css TypeError: Cannot call method 'charAt' of undefined at getLocation (/usr/lib/nodejs/less/parser.js:204:34) at new LessError (/usr/lib/nodejs/less/parser.js:213:19) at Object.toCSS (/usr/lib/nodejs/less/parser.js:379:31) at /usr/bin/lessc:103:28 at /usr/lib/nodejs/less/parser.js:428:40 at /usr/lib/nodejs/less/parser.js:94:48 at /usr/lib/nodejs/less/index.js:113:15 at /usr/lib/nodejs/less/parser.js:428:40 at /usr/lib/nodejs/less/parser.js:94:48 at /usr/lib/nodejs/less/index.js:113:15 make[1]: *** [base.css] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/srv/galaxy-dist/static/style/blue' make: *** [all] Error 2
Which is apparently a bug in the version of lessc I have.

Hey, Seth
I'm using npm less 1.3.3. That error isn't a known issue, no.
Is that the full stack trace/error report? Which files have you edited?
Thanks, Carl

Dear Galaxy devs,
I am attempting to create a style directory to match my school'slook and feel. I am mainly trying to get the development environment setup to do this right now. My current problem is that when I attempt to compile the standard blue_colors.ini which comes with galaxy I am receiving a syntax error:
ParseError: Syntax Error on line 1 in /srv/galaxy-dist/static/style/blue_colors.ini:1:10 1 base_text=#303030 2 base_bg_top=#FFFFFF
I have not edited that file at all. So the first question is, what version of lessc is being used to compile the styles for the basic installation? Also are there any pitfalls I should be aware of with this process.
