should be
        a = (int*) malloc (nrows * ncols * sizeof(int));
        b = (int*) malloc ( nrows * ncols * sizeof(int));
        c =(int*) malloc ( nrows * ncols * sizeof(int));
that is you need to remove the pointer prefix from in front of the variables
on the left side of the assignment statement.
