One more thing about the redundancy:

i.e ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnuplot --libdir=/opt/gnuplot |
If that's what you're using for your libs (and not gnuplot), you're building a Makefile to install the lib in the parent prefix directory (e.g., /opt/gnuplot) rather than in lib directory (e.g., /opt/gnuplot/lib). There's really no practical reason to do that because you'll still have to link it (see below).
If you used that line to configure the Makefile for gnuplot, you're not telling it to LINK to existing libs in /opt/gnuplot, you're telling it to INSTALL gnuplot's libs (if it has any) there. That's what the libdir, mandir, bindir, etc., commands are for: to tell where to put those things.
If libgd is already in the system, it should be detected when you run configure. If it's there but not detected, modify the --with option below to suit your needs. If it's not already there, compile it first with the same prefix you'll use for your app. Leave the libdir option alone because libs should already install to /yourprefix/lib. Then when you compile gnuplot, link that --with-libgd=/prefix/lib (or however libgd is referenced -- there should be something in an INSTALL, README, or run ./configure --help | less).
