macOS demo simulation with (external) model library fails

Description

Simulation fails on macOS by not finding the model from a file containing the model.

I can reproduce the user report in https://forum.kicad.info/t/unable-to-simulate-the-demo-file-hv-converter/65356 as well.

With 9.0.6 on MS Windows 11 the simulation is o.k.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Try to run demo at demos/simulation/gain_control
  2. Try to run sim in project provided at https://forum.kicad.info/t/unable-to-simulate-the-demo-file-hv-converter/65356
