Simulate does not work #4318

Description

@Kennewoll

Current Behaviour

Can't simulate a sketch.
I tried simulating an example file from Fritzing (Arduino/Digital/Output/Blink), but when I click "Simulate" I get an error message.

The pop-up window displays the following error message:

⚠️ An error occurred when starting the simulation.

The debugging window displays the following error message:

Searching for ngspice in the following directories:
  /Applications/Fritzing.app/Contents/PlugIns
  /Applications/Fritzing.app/Contents/MacOS
Error loading ngspice shared library: Cannot load library /Applications/Fritzing.app/Contents/MacOS/libngspice.dylib: dlopen(/Applications/Fritzing.app/Contents/MacOS/libngspice.dylib, 0x0005): symbol not found in flat namespace '_HICUMload'
