Broken IPython notebook install Ubuntu 13.10 how t

Question

I had Ipython notebook (even the dev version working great but then tried to install the "crosscat" component for the new BayesDB It Seems to have re-installed about everything on my system (and with some failures)

So now I can't run IPython Notebook anymore. I'm stuck, dead in the water.

I tried to go into /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages and remove all IPython directories. A pip reinstall from a local cloned repo of the dev version reports that all is up to date but there are still no IPython files in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages I also did a reinstall from Synaptic and still no IPython in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.

When I try to start IPython notebook at the console I get the web page open with the message "Error connecting to server" with no files.

Which ipython reports /usr/local/bin/ipython which has a start-up file the console appears to have the server running (see below)

So what do I need to remove to get a reinstall to work? (Console output below)

As a oh by the way when I looked at trying a apt remove of Ipython it also wanted to remove rabbitvcs-cli, rabbitvcs-nautilus3, vcs-gedit, Why Apt/synaptic would conflagurate them got me a bit nervous so I stopped before wrecking anything more...
