I am also a rails dev on windows and i used a solution similar to this a
while back to get LESS working on my machine.

In the end it just wasn't worth it. It created an odd and error prone
dependency, and I basically had to have a unique Gemfile for myself,
which was a pita to keep in sync with production. Issue gets even worse
if you're on Heroku so some other auto-deployment platform.

My answer to all this is to use SASS instead of LESS, or heck just skip
the pre-processors altogether and do old fashioned CSS (i hear it still
works! :O ).

I got into this jumble because of Bootstrap. Default twitter-bootstrap
uses LESS. I switched to the SASS version
https://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass and problem solved.
