If there were any log messages from RIP, they should have been
printed in the window with the running rtrmgr.
If there is no useful info there, you could try to enable some of
the debug statements in the RIP source code itself. To do so you
have to add (or uncomment) the following at the beginning of the RIP
files that have debug_msg() statements:

#define DEBUG_LOGGING

Though, before doing so you may want to run tcpdump on the link
between the two routers to see whether there is actually any RIP
traffic.
