If you want to see the actual CSS that is running you can just use firebug/developer tools - inspect an element and you'll see the compiled CSS. The less.js file creates the CSS in the browser rather than compiling it on the server, although there is a server side version too (http://lesscss.org/#-server-side-usage).
The Johnnyb's solution is not too bad (on the client side) but it's not really optimized. Indeed you may encounter issues like source of your images etc.

I worked with 960.gs http://grids.heroku.com/
looks so messy compared to http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/
bootstrap is using LESS
http://lesscss.org/#-client-side-usage
to generate its CSS in the first place
in bootstrap there are .less files
scaffolding.less
variables.less
ok so far understand it
need it change it as follows
but how can I "render it / convert it" into normal .CSS using the less.js file ?
http://lesscss.org/#-client-side-usage
using the javascript file
I am not native English speaker so it sometimes, still, eludes me what and how to do because I do not understand fully the context
http://designshack.net/articles/css/using-less-js-to-simplify-your-css3
how to compile is at the bottom but still don't get the point
tried it here
http://krsiak.cz/less/
as it says, first put .less, .js file goes after it
understand that but where can I see the actual CSS that is running it, have no idea

(Geez I am answering to a very old post)
Cheers
thanks guys :)
I use WinLESS to do the work. It monitors my LESS folder and compile the CSS automatically every time I save the LESS file.
Phpstorm now has a great .less compiler plugin. Awesome!
