First make sure you have w_share checked under the Application Permissions.

Checked Correct Permissions

You'll then be able to post shares to the users wall. I have code that demonstrates what can be done.

Do keep in mind LinkedIn changed availability of several API endpoints on Feb 2015. If you are referencing old information, keep this in mind:
