c++ makefile not finding shared library for hdf5

I'm compiling a c++ program on Kubuntu that will use the hdf5 library. I have installed the hdf5 library using 

sudo apt-get install libhdf5-7
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-cpp-7

But when I run the makefile for the program I get

make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/local/lib/libhdf5.so', needed by 'src/libHDF5Wrapper.so'.  Stop.

And indeed looking in /usr/lib there is no libhdf5*-files. Am I missing something in the installation of hdf5?

in order to close this question I put my comment into this answer:

The correct location of the libraries on Ubuntu can either be found out using the online file list of the respective package or through:

ldconfig -p | grep libhdf5.so

which for me returns:

libhdf5.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhdf5.so

Your makefile seems to wrongly assume the location of the library to be /usr/local/lib, so you need to adjust the makefile to match the actual install location on your computer.
