Ah I see that the "lessc" dependency is mentioned later on in the doc.  That should be moved up to the "install dependencies" section, before "make test" is run.

And in particular, the "apt-get" version of node is really old, and doesn't work.  I needed to go get the latest node/npm, and use "npm -g install less" to get the tests to run.
