For what it is worth, here are some more detailed instructions for average users who don't use terminal:

be sure that (1) above goes in the bin folder and (2) and (3) in the lib folder. That is, notice there is a directory difference in the instructions above.

Download the entire code for fortify-spatial.r to your working directory.

In R:
source ("fortify-spatial.r") # if necessary adjust path

Then run the fortify.SpatialLinesDataFrame command from the code above.
