Hi Chris (Hoss?), The issue is that README refers to a specific file apache-solr-XXX.jar, which does not exist. There is apache-solr-4.0.0.war which is referred in a para before, but not this one. So, maybe the fix is just to say that there is a bunch of jars now. (apache-solr-component-XXX.jar ?)
Anyway, I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4163. Regards, Alex.
