Network undefined reference help

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
The problem is a function which i typed although it kept saying that it is a undefined reference still. other function worked fine but the main problem is pinpointing at display.h
Code:
driver1.c:(.text+0x11): undefined reference to `write_message'
driver1.c:(.text+0x3c): undefined reference to `write_exp'
driver1.c:(.text+0x4b): undefined reference to `write_char'
driver1.c:(.text+0x68): undefined reference to `write_char'


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
this file is given
Code:
/*      File:  display.h
        by:    Tep Dobry
        login: tep
        date:  20 Mar 03
*/

/*  This file contains the prototypes for useful funcitons in display.o
        library  */

#define MYFLUSH(c) while((((c) = getchar()) != '\n') && ((c) != 13));

void write_char(char);
/* This function is given a character and writes it to the display.
        The characters recognized to be written include the digits, '0'..'9',
        the operators, '+', '-', 'x', '/', and '=', the period, '.', and
        the special characters, 'q', ' ', '\n', and '\b'.  The
        special characters are explained in the documentation.
*/

void write_exp(char);
/* This function is given a character and writes it as an exponent to
        the dispaly.  The characters recognized to be written are
        the digits '0'..'9', and the minus sign, '-'.
*/

void write_message(char *);
/* This function is given a string which is written in the center
        of the top line of the display.  It also initializes the
        dispaly.
*/

void write_error(char *);
/* This function is given a string which is written to the bottom line
        of the display and causes the display to beep.
*/

void write_debug(int);
/* This function is given an integer which is written to the bottom line
        of the display to be used as debugging output in the program
*/




3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

Code:
main()
{  char ch;

        /*  Initialize the dispaly with a message  */
        write_message("Display Test");

        /*  while not quitting  */
        while((ch = getchar()) != 'q')
        {
                /*  if exponent character */
                if( is_exp(ch))
                        /*  write the converted exponent character  */
                        write_exp(exp_value(ch));
                /*  otherwise write the character  */
                else write_char(ch);
        }

        /* write the q character to terminate the dispaly */
        write_char(ch);

}

Where is the code, not the one-line declaration?
for example:
Code:
void write_error(char *msg)
{
    fprintf(stderr, "Error msg: %s\n", msg);
}

You have to compile that as well. And
Code:
char ch;

is not a pointer to char or a string array either - that is what you are passing to the functions that require char *.
