can i mount a cd-image file as a loopback device?

i tried

"losetup </path/to/cd/image-file>",

but it returns

"loop: can't get info on device </path/to/cd/image-file>: Inappropriate
ioctl for device"

i did a

"modprobe loop"

before running it again, but with the same result.
how does one do it? the manpage for losetup doesn't suggest anything
different, as far as i can make out.

the cdimage was created with mkisofs. i am running mandrake 8.2.
