exporting # to latex?

I'm trying to write an org-mode file that is being exported to latex,
and then built into a pdf file, of the MPD online manual.

I'm now trying to show the 'mpf.conf' file which is mostly with
commented out lines starting with a hash (#). But that breaks the
org-mode export, so how can I have it displayed and exported to latex
please?

I've tried putting a comma in front of each separate #, which does work,
but gives a very untidy export to latex. I've also tried putting
'#+begin_src org' before the block of text and #, and '#+end_src' after
it, but when I build the pdf after exporting it to latex I get this
error report -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Chapter 9.
! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \lstset 
                        
l.1749 \lstset
              {language=org,label= ,caption= ,captionpos=b,numbers=none}
? x
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Where it just halts and is unable to proceed without correcting it,
which I can't do, so I have to say 'x' to break out of it.

So what I'm trying to get is a latex file which includes the .conf file
and all of its # in the right place and show as # on their own. But how
can I do it please?

Thanks
Sharon.

One of these?


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
   ## abc
   ## def
#+END_EXAMPLE

#+BEGIN_EXPORT latex
## abc
## def
#+END_EXPORT

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Upon export to latex they yield:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

\begin{verbatim}
## abc
## def
\end{verbatim}

## abc
## def

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


HTH,

Chuck

And #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE & #+END_EXAMPLE works in this context, thanks for this.

Thanks
