  Kieth,

The most likely problem is that you failed to solder pin 1 of either the 
display itself or the resistor pack directly bellow it.  Pin 1 of both 
are associated with the "d" segment (lowest horizontal segment) of the 7 
segment display.

Pin 1 has a round pad while the rest are rectangular, so it is often 
overlooked.
