/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgd

So I am trying to compile a program using make -f Makefile but I am getting this error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgd 

root@kevin-VirtualBox://home/kevin/Desktop/makef# make -f Makefile
gcc -o main obj/main.o obj/serial.o obj/fb.o obj/menu_main.o obj/timer.o obj/cmdin.o obj/buzzer.o obj/statemachine.o obj/inout.o obj/network.o obj/text_file_input.o obj/text_file_input_oven.o -I./ -lgd -lrt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [main] Error 1
root@kevin-VirtualBox://home/kevin/Desktop/makef#

Makefile:

IDIR =./
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-I$(IDIR)

ODIR=obj
LDIR =./

LIBS=-lgd -lrt

_DEPS = main.h Makefile
DEPS = $(patsubst %,$(IDIR)/%,$(_DEPS))

_OBJ = main.o serial.o fb.o menu_main.o timer.o cmdin.o buzzer.o statemachine.o inout.o network.o text_file_input.o text_file_input_oven.o
OBJ = $(patsubst %,$(ODIR)/%,$(_OBJ))


$(ODIR)/%.o: %.c $(DEPS)
    $(CC) -c -o $@ $< $(CFLAGS)

main: $(OBJ)
    gcc -o $@ $^ $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS)

.PHONY: clean

clean:
    rm -f $(ODIR)/*.o *~ core $(INCDIR)/*~

after replacing (libgd.a libgd.la libgd.so libgd.so.2 libgd.so.2.0.0) I am getting this error:

You should have package libgd-dev (or libgd-devel depending on OS/distribution) installed. The part of the package essential to linking is a symlink /usr/lib/libgd.so (usually pointing to /usr/lib/lib/libgd.so.2)
