Can anyone give me advice about what I can do to diagnose this problem? (commands to run... debugging flags to turn on... log files to scour, etc.). Does anybody have an idea what "Invalid argument" might possibly mean? I'm dyin' here :)

Are your sources there as well? Maybe you are doing a VPATH build (./configure --srcdir=Desktop/sane-backends-1.0.18)? I'm not sure this is supported. $ cd /home/mas/Desktop/sane-backends-1.0.18 $ ./configure $ make should do the trick.
