Found this for future reference in case anybody else needs it "Apples developer website <https://developer.apple.com/mac/> only links to the latest version of Xcode, which requires Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
If youre still running Leopard (10.5), you need to go to this alternative developer website: http://connect.apple.com/ then look under developer tools in the right hand column Thanks guys.

If you have OS X 10.5 you want Xcode 3.1.4 and for OS X > 10.6 you want Xcode 3.2.3 or 3.2.4.
