Incorrect.

Casts on the following argument:

    start_data, count_data, stride_data, imap_data (which you don't have)

*must* be unnecessary.  All of these arguments *must* be of type `long*'
(NOTE: not `nclong*').  The question I have for you is "What is the type
of the `stride' argument in your code when you call ncvargetg()?"

There is no NCINT type.  Such a cast would be completely unnecessary
when the prototype for the function is in scope.

Does your code include "netcdf.h"?
