QSim Vsim Error 3033

Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction.  

 

I am trying to use the internal qsim simulator with a vwf to simulate an extremely simple design within quartus. I don't want to use the full blown modelsim program, because it is very cumbersome for what I need. I have compiled a very simple single port RAM using VHDL. It compiles fine. When I try to run a simulation on the vwf file, it gives me this error: Error: (vsim-3033) nofile(37): Instantiation of 'generic_m10k' failed. The design unit was not found.. As far as I can see there is no way I can specify altera_insim_ver into the command line using the qsim method as that seems to be the missing simulation library parameter. How can I solve this issue? I did end up running the full blown model sim program to see if the design would compile in it and run a simulation, and it did. I wanted to just see if it the simulation was working. I don't want to use model sim going forward. Why are the megafunctions not included by default when I compile this design into simulation?
