First, check /var/log/messages to see if the program is logging to the
default system log.
Then read the docs for this program. Almost all (and all well-written)
programs will give you some way to increase the verbosity of the
logging. Usually there's a "debug" setting which logs every single move
the program makes. Look throught the docs to see how to turn this on and
then do so. The docs should also tell you what the default logging
method is.
