[Mesa-users] Installing ndiff

[Rob Farmer]

Note you never need to install ndiff yourself unless you are doing a
non-sdk build.

That error means you've likely not set up the MESASDK properly. I would
check that MESASDK_ROOT is set and that you have sourced the mesasdk_init
script. Note this step must be done each time you open a new terminal.
