You have to supply a constant name for the first argument, so that
"Proto::ProtoStruct" is not a sufficient name for the struct.  1.7 has
stricter check for names.

If you don't want define class under Struct
(i.e. Struct::ProtoStruct), you don't have to give it a name:

    sProto = rb_struct_define(0,"name","aliases","number",0);
    rb_define_const(cNetProto, "ProtoStruct", sProto);
