GNURadio libusb error using PyBombs - libusb

Question

I am attempting to install GNURadio using PyBombs on Ubuntu 14.04.
I am following the quickstart steps found at https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs/
During the build I get the following errors:
Linking CXX executable tags_demo
/usr/local/lib/libuhd.so: undefined reference to `libusb_error_name'
/usr/local/lib/libuhd.so: undefined reference to `libusb_strerror'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [gr-uhd/examples/c++/tags_demo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [gr-uhd/examples/c++/CMakeFiles/tags_demo.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
PyBombs.Packager.source - ERROR - Build failed. See output above for error messages.
PyBombs.Packager.source - ERROR - Problem occurred while building package gnuradio:
Build failed.
PyBombs.install - ERROR - Error installing package gnuradio. Aborting.
After a bit of research I have confirmed I have installation of the libusb library:
$ ldconfig -p | grep usb
libusbmuxd.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libusbmuxd.so.2
libusb-1.0.so.0 (libc6) => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0
libusb-1.0.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0
libusb-1.0.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0
libusb-1.0.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so
libusb-0.1.so.4 (libc6) => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libusb-0.1.so.4
libusb-0.1.so.4 (libc6) => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libusb-0.1.so.4
libgusb.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgusb.so.2
and found the required symbols in two locations:
$ nm -D /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0 | grep error
00004e80 T libusb_error_name
000091b0 T libusb_strerror
U strerror
$ nm -D /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so | grep error
00004e80 T libusb_error_name
000091b0 T libusb_strerror
U strerror
But I am not sure why the build is not locating them.
Note: The libusb libraries were installed from the Ubuntu repository.
Is someone able to point me in the right direction so I can understand what the issue is here?
Thanks.

Okay, so I tried to remove libusb-1.0-0 with the intention of installing libusb from source. However removing libusb-1.0-0 also removed gnome-session and gvfs-backends which broke my GUI. doh!
Once this was fixed, I just tried to installed libusb from source from the libusb.info website and did the usual routine.
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
Then I retried the PyBombs installation process and it worked.
