How to Install ncurses-devel version 5 on Fedora 26?

I am building android for NXP I.MX6 on Fedora 26, after doing lunch (many times, every time), I get following error:

prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/clang-2690385/bin/clang++: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have installed ncurses-devel and ncurses-compat-libs as suggested in this link, but still it throws the above error.

On investigation, I understand that ncurses-devel installs version 6 by default and I suspect ncurses-compat-libs installs only 32-bit libraries for version 5 & 6.

32-bit library path:

$ ls /usr/lib/libncurses*
libncurses.so libncurses.so.5.9 libncurses.so.6.0 libncurses++w.so.5 libncurses++w.so.6
libncurses++.so libncurses++.so.5.9 libncurses++.so.6.0 libncursesw.so.5 libncursesw.so.6
libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so.6 libncurses++w.so libncurses++w.so.5.9 libncurses++w.so.6.0
libncurses++.so.5 libncurses++.so.6 libncursesw.so libncursesw.so.5.9 libncursesw.so.6.0 

64-bit library path:

$ ls /usr/lib64/libncurses*
/usr/lib64/libncurses.so /usr/lib64/libncurses++.so.6 /usr/lib64 /libncurses++w.so /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.6
/usr/lib64/libncurses++.so /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.6.0 /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so /usr/lib64/libncurses++w.so.6.0
/usr/lib64/libncurses.so.6 /usr/lib64/libncurses++.so.6.0 /usr/lib64/libncurses++w.so.6 /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.6.0

So the question is how do I install ncursed-devel version 5 on Fedora 26?
