I seem to recall that I downloaded XCode 3.2.6 from Apple's website.
Granted, I did already have a working XCode 3 version from a previous
OSX Tiger DVD, but installing from the Apple download site didn't give
me any trouble. I did have to register with the Apple Developer program
though (but it was free).

I seem to recall that XCode 3.2 looks for a /Developer folder in the
root of your disk to install to, but on Lion I think that Apple got rid
of this folder (maybe that was your problem ?). There was a discussion
about this on this list a while back, I think, it must be somewhere in
the archives. Maybe if you create the folder Developer, and then try
reinstalling 3.2 to it ? Then, if you also want the latest XCode, move
the Developer folder elsewhere whilst you install XCode 4 and simply
just shove it back into place once you've finished ? Just an idea.
