I downloaded and installed chromedriver to /usr/bin as well as the current path. I also ran chromedriver in the background just in case it was having trouble starting it or the like but I still get this

Any idea?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fbstalker.py", line 61, in
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chromeOptions)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.37.0-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 59, in init
self.service.start()

Download Chromedriver at the link on the googlecode site. Ensure it is in a directory in your $PATH

I found the problem. It was the file permissions on /usr/bin/chromedriver. chmod 755 /usr/bin/chromedriver worked.
