Installing subversion-javahlbindings (1.8.4) fails on OS X 10.9

[jan.krabbenbos@…]

I have tried to install the subversion-javahlbindings (version 1.8.4) on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks, Xcode 5.0.2 installed), but it keeps failing. I have tried several tips and tricks as given on the website, where the most drastic was uninstall MacPorts and reinstall everything.

The messages on the console are:

Is this a configuration error on my side? Or of the subversion-javahlbindings package?

Main.log

The log says:

:info:configure configure: error: Cannot compile JavaHL without a suitable JDK.
:info:configure                   Please specify a suitable JDK using the --with-jdk option.

Off the top of my head, the first question would be: is java installed? It doesn't come preinstalled on OS X anymore, since OS X 10.8. Run java to find out; it'll either give you a usage message if it's already installed, or prompt you to install it if it's not.
