Solution

The user has installed CERN's ROOT software and had a path in their `bash_profile` to load ROOT's environment with the command `source /usr/local/root-6.30.06/cmake_build/bin/thisroot.sh`. They are unsure how this might affect Jupyter, but after commenting out this line, they were able to start Jupyter Notebook without any issues.
