Getting debug output
The first thing to do is to increase the debug level from the Tools - Options - Writer - iMath options page. A good starting point is level 2.
On Linux, just run soffice from a terminal, and you will see the debug output.
On Windows the location of the debug output depends on the iMath version. The newest versions (> 2.1.1) write to a file called iMathDebug_cerr.txt in the current user's temporary file directory (usually <User>/AppData/Local/ but see this link for details). If you still cannot find the log file, consider setting a well-defined temporary path as described here.
Older versions output some information to a file called stdout.txt in the Office program directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 3.6\program).
But usually this will be empty... So you need a Microsoft Visual Studio installation to proceed. Here you will find a program called editbin.exe.
On Windows, you need to open a command prompt ("Run" - cmd). In the little black window that comes up, change to the Office installation directory (e.g. cd "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5\program"). If you type soffice.exe here, the Office should start, otherwise you are in the wrong directory. Tip: If you press the <tab> key while entering the path, Windows will rotate through all possible continuations. E.g. you could type cd C:\Pro and then press the <tab> key to reach C:\Program Files. Then enter \Li and press <tab> again until you reach C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5 and so on.
Now set your path to find editbin.exe: Type C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat (assuming you installed Visual Studio 12). You should get a message telling you the environment was set. Now tell Windows to send debug output to the window and to stdout.txt: editbin /subsystem:console soffice.exe and the same again for soffice.bin.
Run soffice.exe and you should see some output in the window and more in stdout.txt.
