This question is somewhat related to this one. Following the suggestion in the comments from this one, I upgraded geth to v1.4.10 and launched it and launched it on a private net:
geth --datadir "data_dir" --mine --minerthreads 3 --networkid 13 --rpcapi eth,web3,personal --rpc --maxpeers 0
which outputs:

When I try to connect to the IPC in data_dir/geth.ipc I get the error:
Fatal: Unable to attach to remote geth: invalid endpoint
Connecting to the IPC endpoint is done by running:
geth --ipcpath "data_dir/geth.ipc" attach
How is it possible to connect to the geth IPC endpoint in geth (> 1.4.xx)?
