I think most of your questions are already answered on  
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/SuSE or  
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building

The quoted overview "README.dependencies" says on OpenSUSE 10.2 there  
is a package glib2-2.12.4, which you would need (including its -devel  
package), but you should really first read those pages and install all  
dependencies that are mentioned there.
