sudo apt-get install build-essential ./configure --prefix=/usr make Coming from the JavaScript/Python ecosystem, I have very little experiemce with make and configure, so any help greatly appreciated.
Is this an obvious error? What can I do to track down the cause?

This is more or less a lucky guess, that just happened to solve the issue.
The two things that jump out from the ./configure log are:
checking for pkg-config... no Although not necessarily a problem, pkg-config is often used by build systems to locate header files, libraries and link options. It may be that everything necessary to build the software is already installed on your system, but the ./configure script can't find it without the help of pkg-config;
and
checking for libusb-1.0 >= 1.0.0... no checking for openusb_init in -lopenusb... no checking for libusb >= 0.1.8... no which is odd because Ubuntu 18.04 should provide libusb-1.0-0-dev version 1.0.21 and libusb-dev version 0.1.12 respectively. As noted above, that may be because the script can't locate them without the help of pkg-config, or may be because the development packages are not yet installed on your system.
Either way, no harm will come from attempting to install all three packages:
sudo apt install pkg-config libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev then start over from scratch.
