I have done this and it sounded like all that I needed to do is #include <R.h> to get access to R functionality. However, I was getting compiling errors when attempting to make an R function call directly from C, so I did some research, and this is where I saw the reference to needing the libR.so. By just including R.h, does this provide me with the same R functionality as the references that I saw about the libR.so? If so, then I will continue to use this to access the R functionality and use the "Writing R Extensions" manual.

Is there any API document pertaining to this shared library? You want to look at the "Writing R Extensions" manual, in particular the chapters on the R API (for access to the underlying computational routines) and the one on linking GUIs or other front-ends (which sounds more like what you want to do).
