I just have downloaded gmtp source to connect android mtp device to my Ubuntu Linux 10.10. But when I enter command ./configure it says permission denied and chmod 0777 ./ configure is not making it executable. On double clicking it in nautilus I found that Ubuntu gives me warning that it is downloaded from untrusted source. Is there any solution to it.please help me as I am new to Linux.

    Even though you're new to Linux, you don't seem to be new to SO. Why didn't you ask this on AskUbuntu or Superuser? – Ordous Nov 26 '14 at 17:54

chmod 0777 ./configure should work. You need to own the file though, if you don't, sudo chown yourusername configure (you might need to do sudo chown your_username -R . to acquire the whole directory recursively as .configure might need to read other files) or run the chmod command with sudo.
