I did the same. Still busted on INtel. On the G5, however, this strategy worked. I cleaned out the devtools, then deleted the Developer directory all together, and reinstalled clean once the upgrade was done. > Finally, I wound up doing an 'Archive and Install' of the OS and then > made sure my /Developer folder was removed and then reinstalled XCode > 3.0 (from the DVD).
