After uninstalling Xcode 3 using the uninstaller-script and

have some ideas how to get this particular tool back to work, but I
am little bit concerned, that there might be more stuff missing or
in a non-working condition.
PowerBook G4 1,5 GHz, 12'', MAc OS X 10.5.2 all latest updates

I would be graceful if somebody could shed some light on this.
Xcode 2.5 and Xcode 3.0 are designed to live side-by-side and be
fully self-contained. Each installer, however, has a package that
also installs systemwide content into /usr/bin. Xcode 3.0 installs
this content on Leopard, but Xcode 2.5 only installs this content on
Tiger-based systems, because doing so on Leopard would downgrade or
break system components.
You don't need to remove Xcode 3.0 to install Xcode 2.5.
If you want only Xcode 2.5 but also want system parts in /usr,
install just the "Unix System Components" package on the Xcode 3.x
installer.
You could also just copy the /Xcode2.5/usr/bin/cvs binary to /usr/bin.
