So I did sudo apt-get install php5-mongo
and when I do composer require "mongodb/mongodb=~1.0.0"
I get this:
Problem 1
- Installation request for mongodb/mongodb ~1.0.0 -> satisfiable by mongodb/mongodb[1.0.0].
- mongodb/mongodb 1.0.0 requires ext-mongodb ^1.1.0 -> the requested PHP extension mongodb is missing from your system.
When I do dpkg -s php5-mongo
I get this:

So is the problem my ext-mongodb install is too new? Based on the output of dpkg I'd guess I'm running ext-mongodb 1.4.5 instead of the 1.1.0 required by https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-library
edit: echo phpversion('mongo')
gets me 1.4.5 as well.
