Actually STR2CSTR was marked as obsolete in 1.8 and removed in 1.9.1.

ruby.h:

/* obsolete API - use StringValue() */
char *rb_str2cstr _((VALUE,long*));
/* obsolete API - use StringValuePtr() */
#define STR2CSTR(x) rb_str2cstr((VALUE)(x),0)

Basically just replace STR2CSTR by StringValuePtr or define this macro.
