You have

  LDFLAGS = -L/home/murakami/netcdf4/lib -L/home/murakami/netcdfcxx4/lib 
-lnetcdf -lnetcdf_c++4

Since the netCDF-4-C++ library depends on the netCDF-C libraryTry changing that 
to

  LDFLAGS = -L/home/murakami/netcdfcxx4/lib -lnetcdf_c++4 
-L/home/murakami/netcdf4/lib -lnetcdf 

instead.  If that doesn't fix the problem, please provide more details, such as 
whether
simple_xy.nc is created, and if so, what the output is for

  ls -l simple_xy.nc

and

  ncdump -sh simple_xy.nc
