I installed meld in my ubuntu 14.04 system. by following these commands.
In the following directory path:

anurag@LIBSERV-PC:~$mkdir -p work/crap
anurag@LIBSERV-PC:~$cd work/crap
anurag@LIBSERV-PC:~/work/crap$git clone https://git.gnome.org/browse/meld
anurag@LIBSERV-PC:~/work/crap$cd meld
anurag@LIBSERV-PC:~/work/crap/meld$sudo apt-get install intltool itstool gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 libxml2-utils
anurag@LIBSERV-PC:~/work/crap/meld$sudo python setup.py install

It seems installation is done properly. I am working on my rails project in the following location:

 anurag@LIBSERV-PC:~/vikas/template$ git diff lib/common_methods.rb

But in my system git diff is not showing in meld software.
I am seeing difference on the terminal only.

As I mentioned in "How to set Meld as git mergetool", you sill have to declare meld as a difftool

git config --global  diff.tool meld

Or use git difftool --tool=meld.
