pyvirtualdisplay在Amazon EC2实例上

Question

I am trying to run selenium on Amazon EC2. I am using pyvirtualdisplay as xvfb wrapper. I ran the following commands in python.

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
display = Display(visible=0, size=(1024, 768))
display.start()

Everything goes fine till now.
But when I do:

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-   packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 59, in __init__

After spending many hours on the internet searching for solutions and trying every possible thing out, one thing which worked for me is this.

As the answer says:
It is trying to load wring pixman so. Delete /usr/local/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 and try again, it will make Xvfb use distribution pixman library which has this symbol.
