title: Unable to run lessc on Ubuntu 13.04. Not even a "command not found"
body: <p>I installed less with
      sudo npm install -g less</p>
  
  <p>Here are the last 10 lines of output:</p>

  <p>Browed here a bit and figured maybe those warnings weren't the issue.  Seemed all well and good, except when I run lessc without parameters it just kicks me back to the command prompt.  Unusual as lesscss.org states this should list options.
  Same behavior when I try a command like</p>
  
  <pre><code>lessc less/style.less &gt; css/style.css
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just kicks me back to the command line as if I never tried to execute anything.  Expected a "command not found" at the very least.  style.css remains uncompiled.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Background</strong>: I'm recently new to Ubuntu after a lot of time on OS X.  I was used to LiveReload, but I still haven't wrapped my head around <a href="https://github.com/guard/guard-livereload" rel="nofollow">guard-livereload</a>  I figured I wouldn't mind doing some manual compiling for a little while.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> I started from scratch and built from source. Instructions to build from source: <a href="https://gist.github.com/dwayne/2983873" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/dwayne/2983873</a> lessc works fine now after reinstalling from npm.  I feel like I must have had some sort of conflict via apt-get somehow.</p>
