See `Writing R Extensions' for the information.

R CMD SHLIB hello.f

> dyn.load("hello.so")

might be what you need. dyn.load in R loads shared libraries (on Linux),
not .o objects. The error message does say your hello.o is not a valid
shared library.

Looks like the help page for dyn.load needs a cross-reference to SHLIB.
