  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.
