The RlibTest link in 
    http://www.omegahat.org/download/R/other/
will give you some code that Kurt H. and I used to check
all was well with the linking against libR.so and also provide
some basic examples. 

More comprehensive examples are in the different Omegahat packages
such as the RSPython, RSPerl( and more recently from the CVS tree in
the R module under Apache.)
