Removed prior solutions that were ultimately replaced by steps 1 to 5 of the current answer.

Oct 8, 2014 at 16:37 comment added lawlist @Drew -- Thank you -- I revised the answer with a suggested method for manual installation (without using the make utility that is included in the color-theme source package).

Oct 8, 2014 at 13:35 comment added Drew A google search for empty-void.el indicates that it is probably color-theme-empty-void.el that is meant.
Oct 8, 2014 at 6:03 comment added lawlist @Drew -- I'm guessing based on a quick Google of empty-void emacs theme that the O.P. might be using emacswiki.org/emacs/color-theme-empty-void.el However, the file name color-theme-empty-void.el is different than empty-void.el. I just downloaded color-theme-6.6.0.zip from download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/color-theme and did a word search of color-theme.el and didn't see anything that looked like empty-void. I don't know if empty-void.el (cited by the O.P.) was intended to be a custom theme or was instead to be used in conjunction with color-theme.
Oct 8, 2014 at 5:13 comment added Drew Is the empty-void theme a custom theme then? If not, I still don't understand. (Not that I need to or that you need to help me understand. ;-))
Oct 8, 2014 at 4:30 comment added lawlist @Drew -- I assumed the original poster wanted the best of both worlds -- i.e., that the O.P. wanted the ability to use the standard color-theme library, and that the O.P. also wanted a special theme called empty-void that was downloaded separately (with that empty-void theme loading automatically when Emacs starts).
Oct 8, 2014 at 3:00 comment added Drew It's not clear to me why you are adding to custom-theme-load-path, which is for Emacs custom themes, when the question is not about Emacs custom themes but about color themes, as defined by library color-theme.el. Custom themes and color themes are different. Am I missing something?
