What version of the tools are you using. This was a known issue but was supposed to be fixed in 9.0. Basically the VIP suite does not use the "empty" signal. However, SoPC builder expected it to be there for Avalon Streaming Interfaces. The VIP components get by without the error but your own custom components don't.

I'm pretty sure this is fixed in newer versions of the tool. However, if you want to keep using the older tools, you can get around the error by holding "Shift" or "Ctrl" (I can't remember which one) when you click the "Generate" button in SoPC builder. It will still flag the error but will go ahead and build the system anyway and everthing will work fine.
