I'm running Mac OS X v 10.4.11 and I want to install Xcode to compile and run ruby on rails. When I go to apple site I must download latest version of Xcode which does not run on my version of OS X. Where can I download a version of XCode that i can install in my environment. Can anyone provide me with a link?

XCode is distributed with MacOs, somewhere in additional tools folder or something like that on installer dvd.

There are also upgrades you can download from the apple site.

If you don't have installation disks, I can upload from mine, but not until tomorow :(. Meanwhile, i recommend You to try NetBeans (whether Ruby, or full version) http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/index.html. I was developing ruby on rails application for my company a year ago, and NetBeans proved to be the best solution for me.
