I cannot fortify my areacode shapefile found here.
I ran install.packages("gpclib", type = "source") as instructed in another Stackoverflow question and get the following:
trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/gpclib_1.5-5.tar.gz'

The downloaded source packages are in
‘C:\Users\wol1\AppData\Local\Temp\1\RtmpInWyln\downloaded_packages’
I load the file by running the following lines
library("maptools")
library("ggplot2")
area <- readShapePoly("AreaCode.shp")
fort.area <- fortify(area, region = "NPA")`
When it attempts to fortify it throws the error:
Error: isTRUE(gpclibPermitStatus()) is not TRUE
I suspect it has to do with the fact that I am on a government machine and my directories are not standard, but I really need a work around.
My ultimate goal is to create a choropleth map from the shapefile with data populated by a column of phone numbers. NPA in the shape file is the area code/region and I need to map the first three characters of the column below to that region.

I think I've gone way in over my head.
Use the rgeos package instead of gpclib.
gpclib is deprecated in maptools and replaced by rgeos, due to licensing restrictions. By default, functionality in maptools that depended on gpclib has been updated to utilize rgeos.
