Tell your vendor you want a centos 6 version of the library, it's really not a huge ask, esp if you are paying them. If they say no, do a new install of centos 7 and run it on a different box. It's the only reasonable thing to do, and if you do anything else and make anyone else support it, you are a bad person.
I’m not quite ready to move to CentOS 7 yet. I would have to upgrade about 80 desktops, a couple of dozen VMs, and a handful of servers. That’s after some extensive testing to make sure all our applications and cross compilers run on CentOS 7. I realize the dependency hell a newer version of glib would cause, but I want to at least try it.
Isn't this the problem that docker was invented to solve?
Yes, you could address this with docker quite easily, depending on the app.
