JavaHL isn't working

Question

I try to update a project from SVN (I have a fresh install of eclipse but it's an existing workspace) so I installed subclipse but when I want to to do anything with SVN I get error messages like :

Failed to load JavaHL Library.
These are the errors that were encountered:
no libsvnjavahl-1 in java.library.path
no svnjavahl-1 in java.library.path
no svnjavahl in java.library.path
java.library.path = .:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

or

Problems reported while synchronizing SVNStatusSubscriber. 0 of 1 resources were synchronized.
An error occurred synchronizing <Project name>: Error getting status for resource P<Project name> Unable to load default SVN Client
Error getting status for resource P<Project name> Unable to load default SVN Client
Unable to load default SVN Client

I work on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with eclipse indigo 3.7.2.

Can someone help me to make it work?

The answer is detailed in this Wiki page:

You need to install Subversion native libraries including the JavaHL library. I would recommend using MacPorts or HomeBrew to get the native libraries.
