• XCode Developer Tools for v3.1.4 - XCode 3.x did not include "Developer Tools," such as being able to run 'clang' from the command-line, for example, so you may want to install this.

• XCode 4.x did not include "Developer Tools," such as being able to run 'clang' from the command-line, for example, so you may want to install this. The structure you see in this link's directory needs to be the same when you run the meta-package (*.mpkg) installer; it should also update XCode 4.0 to 4.2... I think...
