GDAL is notoriously difficult to install :-(

I would strongly recommend to use conda 
(http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html) for managing your packages and 
environments, and then use the conda-forge channel 
(https://conda-forge.github.io/) to install gdal:

conda install -c conda-forge gdal

Good luck!
