I've had some problems getting recent versions of Pointless to link in a
portable way, due to a new call into the CCP4 library, & this can cause
segfaults on some systems. I keep hoping someone will tel me how to get
round this (a ccp4 routine calls getpwid which apparently cannot be
static)

You could try

ftp://ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/pub/pre/pointless-1.2.16.linux

to see if that behaves better

If it's going to crash, it will crash immediately on starting from the
command line
