Did you install gnuradio from the the gnuradio-releases ppa repository - 
https://launchpad.net/~gnuradio/+archive/ubuntu/gnuradio-releases?

OK.

I have not any experience with anaconda but I would expect various problems 
when mixing different python environments. As the gnuradio from the PPA is 
compiled with the default python (from the Ubuntu's repositories) my advice is 
to deactivate the anaconda environment every time you use gnuradio.

You need to install swig first.

  sudo apt-get install swig

What SDR device you have? Before building gr-osmosdr you may need to install 
the corresponding libraries for your device as from the cmake output it looks 
like it does not detect libraries for any device including UHD.
