Still not quite, I'm still missing something:
Question, in your example:
<xsl:variable name="varImagesDirectory">/path/to/images</xsl:variable>
/path/to/images is the path from a known root
Correct?
Here are my snippets
<xsl:variable name="varImagesDirectory">
com/path/to/images
</xsl:variable>
<fo:external-graphic src="url('{$varImagesDirectory}/pic.jpg')">
</fo:external-graphic>

Subject: Re: external-graphic src problem
I should've thought of this sooner...
<!-- At the top of my XSL-FO file or in an xsl:include -->
<!-- varImagesDirectory | used to set PATH to images/ directory-->
<xsl:variable name="varImagesDirectory">/path/to/images</xsl:variable>
<!-- .. -->
<!-- my fo:external-graphic call -->
<fo:external-graphic src="url('{$varImagesDirectory}/logo.jpg')"
width="1.87cm" height=".99cm" content-width="1.87cm"
content-height=".99cm" border="0"/>
is how I use it in our system...
Hope this helps!
