Yes, you need to install glib2 in order to install 0.14.
You can have both glib1 and glib2 installed at the same time w/o conflicts.

It would not be possible to have a --nodeps option for configure...
You're probably thinking of RPM dependencies, where you can use --nodeps 
to specify that you already have something installed (but not from RPM).

If a configure script cannot find a mandatory dependancy installed, that 
means something that the program requires is not found or not usable 
which would mean the program can't run.

Hope that helps.
