Subject: kicad cannot see libngspice

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
In Kicad Eeschema, if I try to use the Tools >> Simulator menu entry, I
get an error in a pop-up window that libngspice cannot be found, and
then the whole Kicad application closes. I see that libngspice is a
dependency of kicad so I'm not quite sure what is wrong.

I asked at #kicad at they said that Kicad does not have any gui-
adjustable path settings for ngspice or libngspice, so I don't think I
have the application configured wrong.

Thank you,

Christopher Howard

Fix pushed as f7d2ae57543ae6afe14434877d7480b15dcbb5b7.
I checked that the libngspice library is detected and that the
simulation window opens correctly, but I have not tried making
simulations of electronic circuits.
Please open another bug if you find a problem.

Thank you. I ran a simulation based on a tutorial and the results of
the simulation were identical.
