Dear Maintainer,

when trying to start a simulation in fritzing (i.e. from the provided
examples), a Window pops up with the report:

   Fritzing caught an exception from simulationButton in event 3: bad_function_call

and it crashes with the followoing lines left in the terminal:

   Netlist: Simulator Netlist
   DLED 1 0 LED_GENERIC

   *Typ RED,GREEN,YELLOW,AMBER GaAs LED: Vf=2.1V Vr=4V If=40mA trr=3uS
   .MODEL LED_GENERIC D (IS=93.1P RS=42M N=4.61 BV=4 IBV=10U CJO=2.97P VJ=.75 M=.333 TT=4.32U)

   .options savecurrents
   .OP
   *.TRAN 1ms 100ms
   * .AC DEC 100 100 1MEG
   .END
   Running command(remcirc):
   Running m_simulator->command('reset'):
   -----------------------------------
   Running LoadNetlist:
   "notify QToolButton 3"
   Aborted

A quick online search suggests this might be related to some (missing) ngspice
library (however, installing ngspice doesn't help).

Thanks for maintaining fritzing,
best regards,

  Andi
